Strathmore is a town situated along the Trans-Canada Highway within southern Alberta, Canada, 25 miles or 40 kilometres east of the city of Calgary, in the boundaries of Wheatland County.

The town began as a hamlet for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) lines which were constructed in the region in the year 1883. The CPR named the town of Strathmore after one of its benefactors: Claude Bowes-Lyon, the Earl of Strathmore. A track laying record was made between the town of Strathmore and Cheadle when the railroad was constructed. Within one hour, one mile (1.6 km) of steel was laid and the rails were laid to Cheadle, 9 miles (14 km) for a record. Efforts by the Canadian government to develop western Canada led to increases in the population of Strathmore and its importance as a rail supply stop.

The town of Strathmore at present is an important agricultural community. Moreover, the area has a growing gas and oil exploration and is the head office of the Golden Hills School Division. Lots of people travel every day from Strathmore to Calgary. Over the past three years the town of Strathmore has seen a major commercial growth.

The Town of Strathmore has an estimated population of 12,139 residents, according to the latest 2010 municipal census. This represents an increase of 2.5% more than the 2009 municipal census population of 11,838. At its existing population, Strathmore is amongst the largest towns in the province and is eligible for city status. According to Alberta's Municipal Government Act, a town is qualified for city status once it reaches 10,000 residents.

The town has hosted a yearly fair and "Heritage Days" Rodeo since 1966, on the long weekend in August. The Heritage Days Rodeo turned professional in the year 1985, becoming a Canadian Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned event. In addition to hosting Pro Rodeo that weekend, the year 1988 saw the addition of the World Professional Chuckwagon Association Finals come to our grounds.

During the 1990's, there was a concerted effort to focus on a change of image to the weekend event. The event started to incorporate a more family theme, incorporating local entertainment stage, children's entertainment, craft/bench show, livestock show, outdoor family entertainment show ring, machinery show, parade, trade show, fireworks and midway. The hosting of these events annually every August long weekend created a main tourist attraction to the Town of Strathmore and neighboring areas as indicated by its growing attendance.
