Bearberry/Coal Camp

The first people to live in the Bearberry valley were First Nations families of the Stoney tribe from Morley. The Land survey of the Bearberry area began in 1902-03. The first homestead was filed in October 1906. The first post office was opened in 1909. Together with the mail, small supplies were hauled into Bearberry when any settler ordered them.

Coal Camp derives its name from Coal Camp Creek, which flows into the Red Deer River. The name refers to its location as the site of the first coal seam found in the area in the late 1890s. The name was made official in November of 1937 - Place Names of Alberta - Volume III
