Mayor of Coronation
Area Overview
Coronation was named in honour of the coronation of King George V. The Town was
registered as a Village on December 16, 1911, and by April 12, 1912, was declared a
Town. Some of the original buildings from Coronation's early years remain, but fires over
the years have taken their toll on some of the historical sites.
The development of Coronation was based on agriculture and the rich natural resources
of the area. The discovery of oil and natural gas in the 1950's helped to boost the
economy of the region, and gave the community a second industry for the populous to
rely on.
Coronation has had it's share of Champions. The Coronation Cadet Corps brought home
many trophies for excellence, especially marksmanship. There has been more than one
Brome Champion, as well as various cattle breeders showing Provincial and Canadian
Champion stock.
