Southern Alberta is the traditional land of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) people who called Lethbridge ‘Sikoohkotoki,’ meaning Black Rock because of the coal they found. When the development of drift mines hit, the name Coalbanks was used. Since 1885, Lethbridge has been the official name. On November 29, 1890, the Town of Lethbridge in the North-West Territories (Alberta became a province in 1905) was officially incorporated. As such, November 29, 2025, marks the 135th anniversary of Lethbridge.
