Tollerton is a former village in central Alberta, Canada within Yellowhead County. It was located on the former Canadian Northern Railway along the north shore of the McLeod River,[1] approximately {{convert|6.0|km|mi|abbr=on}} southwest of the Town of Edson. HistoryTollerton was established as a division point along the Canadian Northern Railway. Its rail facilities included a train station, a timber water tank, an ice house, a bunk house, a steam-heated engine house, and three rail sidings with capacity to hold 249 cars.[2] The community incorporated as the Village of Tollerton on December 27, 1913. The village had a population of 49 in 1916 according to the Dominion Bureau of Statistics' 1916 Census of the Prairie Provinces,[3] although Alberta Municipal Affairs indicated that it had a population of 180 in the same year.[4] In 1917, a decision was made to close the Canadian Northern Railway line in favour of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway through Edson to the north, resulting in the demise of Tollerton.[2] Subsequently, the community dissolved from village status on January 26, 1918.
