Picture Butte is a town in southern Alberta, Canada. It is located 27 km (17 mi) north of the city of Lethbridge. It claims the title of “Livestock Feeding Capital of Canada.”Radio personality and 34th on “The Greatest Canadian” list Hal Anderson was born in Picture Butte.
Picture Butte received its name from a prominence southeast of town. By 1947, however, the prominence’s soil had been reworked and used for street improvements, highway construction and a dyke on the shore of the Picture Butte Lake Reservoir. The prominence no longer exists. Homesteading in the area began in the early 20th century. The building of the Lethbridge Northern Irrigation System in 1923 and the CPR rail line in 1925 stimulated an influx of settlers.
