Name origin

[edit]

Has anyone carried out research into the name Sibbald and how this area came to be known as Sibbald? Is it from the Scottish surname Sibbald? 183.177.120.28 (talk) 03:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From Alberta Place Names by Larry Donovan & Tom Monto (2006, Dragon Hill Publishing Ltd.)...
"There are different stories of how this hamlet received its name. Perhaps it was named after John Sibbald, a railway engineer, or possibly after Frank Sibbald, an early rancher in the area."
The book doesn't confirm the heritage of either person. Hwy43 (talk) 03:24, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
