The Canadian Pacific Railway named the little town, "Cheadle" for Walter Cheadle of Milton and Cheadle explorers who traveled across the prairies and Rocky Mountains in the 1860s. The Canadian Pacific Railway ( Dr Walter Butler Cheadle (October 1836 Colne, Lancashire, - 22 March, 1910, London) was an English Paediatrician [1] Dr. Cheadle and Lord Milton were co-authors of the book "The North-West Passage by Land" (London, 1865), which described their expedition in considerable detail.

There was just one minor building in Cheadle when the early ranchers and homesteaders began to arrive in the late 1890's. It was a post office, store, and boarding home, run by Mrs. Florence Belwer for the C. P. R. section-men.

Real Estate

Cheadle is currently entering a phase of substantial expansion. Wheatland County is a Municipal district in south-central Alberta, Canada, east of Calgary. A new development on Cheadle's west side, called "Green Haven Estates", will add an additional 50 houses to the community. New road construction will link Township Road 240 (Cheadle Drive / 50th Ave SE - Calgary) to highway 24 along with two new streets off of Cheadle Drive (Cheadle Bay & Cheadle Cove). This development will also feature a large central pond to add to the scenery of the location. The West side development is currently at a standstill due to some financial and planning matters involved in developing the marsh area. Higher elevation lots are available in East Cheadle along Cousin's street, just North of the Cheadle Community Hall. These East Cheadle lots are adjacent to a small water stream fed by local marshes and natural water springs in the immediate area.
