Bow Island is a town in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is located on Crowsnest Highway, in the southeastern corner of the province, about 100 kilometres (60 mi) from the US border and 320 kilometres (200 mi) south of Calgary. The community of Bow Island received its first families in 1900. In February, 1910, the Village of Bow Island was formed, and by March 1912 the village was declared the Town of Bow Island.
The naming of Bow Island brings many stories to the forefront, but the most prominent one is that the communities of Grassy Lake (located 25 km/15 mi west) and Bow Island had their respective names mixed up. North of Grassy Lake the confluence of The Bow River and the Oldman River form an island called “Bow Island”, and just south of Bow Island a low depressional area was called “Grassy Lake”.
