Campsie, Alberta
Campsie is a hamlet in central Alberta within the County of Barrhead No. 11,[2] located approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) west of Barrhead then 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Highway 18, roughly 101 kilometres (63 mi) northwest of Edmonton. It has an elevation of 660 m (2,170 ft).[3]
The hamlet took its name, in 1909, from Campsie, in Scotland, the ancestral home of an early postmaster.[4] The post office operated until 1969.[5] The community was a block settlement established by Black Canadian homesteaders from Oklahoma and Texas, within four to five years of Alberta becoming a province in 1905.[6]
