Steveville, Alberta

Steveville is a ghost town in southeastern Alberta, Canada. In 1910 the community, located near Brooks, had a general store. 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 a ferry across the Red Deer River, a boarding house, and the general store and post office.[1]

Steveville lies near the northwest boundary of Dinosaur Provincial Park at the edge of the badlands that border the Red Deer River, and it is most notable as the discovery location for many specimens of dinosaurs. These come from the Dinosaur Park Formation of Late Cretaceous (Campanian) age and include remains of Styracosaurus, Daspletosaurus,[2] Corythosaurus, Struthiomimus,[3] and others.
