History
The settlement of Bawlf was a results of the Canadian Pacific Railway's route through the prairies, with the original survey for the community taking place in 1905 on land owned by Gilbert Hansen. The first train to arrive to the community would occur in 1906, and regular passenger and freight service between Edmonton and Winnipeg would begin by 1909. A new curling building was constructed in 1955-56 for $8,642 and subsequently rented to the Alberta Wheat Pool for 7 years until it was finally opened for curling in 1962, and later the next year an artificial ice machine was added.
