Community Information: The Village of Lomond, Alberta

Located 48 km (29.8 miles) west of Vulcan on Highway 531; or 74.7 km (46.43 miles) southwest of Brooks on Hwy 539; or 176.21 km (109.49 iles) southeast of Calgary.

Lomond was named after the famous Loch Lomond in Dumbartonshire, Scotaland by an early settler of the area. When the Canadian Pacific Rail extended the line from Travers to Lomond and the first grain elevator was built in 1914, the village was established as an agricultural trading centre. It serves a district population of approximately 600 residents. Large tracts of agricultural land surround Lomond, with farmland being used for irrigation, dryland and grazing. Beautiful, well-maintained lakes abound in this area providing a paradise for boating, fishing, hiking and camping. For the fishing enthusiast, the annual Bader Lake Ice Fishing Derby is the greatest of entertainment.
