History of Raymond
Home of the 1st Stampede
LDS Settlement
The Town of Raymond was settled by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1901. The Church of Jesus Christ played a pivotal role in Raymond’s early history, influencing aspects such as town planning, immigration, commercial development, religious groups, community associations, health, and education.
The Church has produced a video on the settlement of the community and can be found by clicking here.

Japanese Settlement
A documentary on the Japanese Canadians and Alberta Sugar Beets. This documentary stems from a bus tour of Southern Alberta that was organized by the Nikkei National Museum in the fall of 2019, and was created by Kenji Dyck and produced by David Iwaasa and the National Association of Japanese Canadians (NAJC) in partnership with the Nikkei National Museum.
