Irma is a village in central Alberta, Canada. It is located {{convert|29|km|mi}} northwest of Wainwright and 178 km southeast of Edmonton along Highway 14 and Highway 881.

History

The Village of Irma came into being in 1908 when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway came through. Irma was later incorporated as a Village on May 30, 1912. The village was supposedly named after the daughter of the GTPR second vice-president General William Wainwright.[4] Records show three major fires in the downtown area. These broke out in 1911, 1931 and 1963. Most of the buildings on the main street (now 50 Street) were reconstructed after the 1931 fire. Alberta's first rural high school is located in Irma, and is planned to be replaced and opened for the September 2019 school year.[5]
