Claresholm is a great place to live, and it prides itself on the friendliness of its residents, its retail services and industrial facilities.  It is a thriving community of over 3,700 people.  Claresholm's traditional roles of an agricultural service centre and industrial airport have been diversified in past years by the growth of the health care sector.  It offers excellent recreation with an 18-hole golf course, swimming pool, rinks, water spray park, expanded campground and an active agriplex.

The Town of Claresholm is located in the Municipal District of Willow Creek #26, midway between Calgary and Lethbridge on Highway 2.  It is 104 km south of Calgary and 90 km northwest of Lethbridge.  Claresholm rests on the fringe of the most spectacular part of Alberta's foothills, providing easy access to an endless number of mountain vistas and recreational opportunities.
