}} The locality of Hayfield was also known as Leighmore, approximately 52 km west of Grande Prairie,[1] formed around the Leighmore Post Office established July 1, 1922 in the home of George James Beadle on the SW quarter of section 10, township 71, range 11, west of the 6th meridian.[2] According to Place Names of Alberta. Volume IV. Northern Alberta, it was named after post master Beadle’s former home in the Channel Islands,[1] the Barnardo Boys Home at Teighmore Park on the Island of Jersey.[3] The name was misspelled, and recorded as Leighmore.[1] In 1934, Hayfield School District 4661 was formed for the children of the area, as their former schools at Appleton and Rio Grande were becoming overcrowded.[4] The post office closed in 1947,[2] and the school in 1950.[4] Information on people who lived in the Leighmore district can be found in Beaverlodge to the Rockies.[5] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last1=Aubrey|first1=Merrily|title=Place Names of Alberta Volume IV, Northern Alberta|date=1996|publisher=University of Calgary Press|location=Calgary, Alberta|isbn=1-895176-59-X|page=95|ref=Place Names of Alberta Volume IV, Northern Alberta}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|title=Post Offices and Postmasters|url=http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/postal-heritage-philately/post-offices-postmasters/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=22420&|website=Postal Heritage and Philately|publisher=Library and Archives Canada|accessdate=7 December 2015|ref=Post Offices and Postmasters}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Canadian Passenger Lists|url=http://www.ancestry.com/|website=ancestry.com|publisher=Library and Archives Canada|accessdate=7 December 2015|ref=Canadian Passenger Lists}} 4. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Nutting|first1=Mary B|title=A Grande Education|date=2010|publisher=Grande Prairie: South Peace Regional Archives Society|location=Grande Prairie, Alberta|isbn=978-0-9735665-0-5|pages=151–152|ref=A Grande Education}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Stacey|first1=Earl C.|title=Beaverlodge to the Rockies|date=1974|publisher=Beaverlodge: The Beaverlodge and District Historical Association|location=Beaverlodge, Alberta|isbn=0-919212-52-2|pages=375–382|ref=Beaverlodge to the Rockies}} 1 : Localities in the County of Grande Prairie No. 1 |
