Barons is a village in southern Alberta, Canada in a region referred to as Palliser's Triangle. It is located north of Lethbridge along Highway 23. Barons was a filming location for a scene in the 1978 film ''Superman''. == History == The Canadian Pacific Railway purchased the present townsite of Barons in early 1909. Charles S. Noble, an agent for the CPR sold lots to settlers. The train station was originally named "Baron", but public usage eventually evolved to "Barons". Barons became a village on May 6, 1910 and early buildings included a hardware store, a grocery store, lumber yards, a bank, a feedmill, a dance hall, an opera house and a hotel. The Village of Barons was subject to a study in 2004 that investigated dissolution of the village to hamlet status under the jurisdiction of the County of Lethbridge. The last two grain elevators were demolished in the summer of 2012. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barons, Alberta」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
