Originally home to the Stoney Nakoda people, who are part of the larger Assiniboine & Sioux groups. The area was used for hunting, fishing & gathering by Indigenous people.
European fur traders arrived in the area in the late 1700's, with the Hudson’s Bay Company & North West Company Trading Posts nearby. Bearspaw was used as a transportation route for settlers travelling westward.
The name "Bearspaw" is believed to derive from a local Native American leader, the Stoney Nakoda chief named Chief Bearspaw, one of the signatories of Treaty 7 in 1877, a major treaty between the Canadian government & several First Nations of southern Alberta. His name also lives on in the Bearspaw area northwest of Calgary with Bearspaw School, Bearspaw Reservoir & other local landmarks.
