Steveville, Alberta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steveville is a ghost town in southern Alberta, Canada. The community, located near Brooks, had a general store in 1910. Named after Steve Hall, a local homesteader, the community never attracted a large population. The Hall family operated a number of businesses in Steveville, including the ferry, boarding house, and the general store and post office.[1]
Steveville is most notable as the discovery location of many specimens of dinosaurs, including fossils of Styracosaurus, Daspletosaurus,[2] Corythosaurus, Struthiomimus,[3] and others found around the community.
