Senator Matthew Henry Cochrane established the Cochrane Ranch, one of the first large-scale, privately owned ranching operations in what would become Alberta. The Canadian Pacific Railway granted the Town site in 1885, naming it in his honour. Despite the surrounding ranch population, few people called Cochrane home at this time.
It was marked by the establishment of a post office & Private homes in 1889, a saloon in 1890 & the Anglican Church in 1892. However, early industrial ventures, such as a coalmine & a brick factory, faced challenges & were short-lived. The nearby settlement of Mitford, which had similar aspirations, experienced a decline due to economic difficulties & a devastating fire in 1898. Some of Mitford's surviving buildings were relocated to Cochrane, contributing to the Town's architectural heritage today.
