== History ==
Magrath was established in 1899 by settlers sent by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Utah and Idaho. These Mormon settlers were recruited by the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company to construct irrigation works in the area. The settlers were paid in cash and land in the town. This was the first major irrigation work in Canada and was made possible by the settlers' experience with the extensive irrigation projects undertaken by their church in Utah and Idaho. The area's irrigation canal system supplies water to local farmers.
Magrath is named after Charles Alexander Magrath.〔Holmgren, Eric J. and Patricia M. Holmgren (1973) ''Over 2,000 Place-Names of Alberta'', p. 112, Saskatoon, Sask: Western Producer Book Service, ISBN 0-919306-37-3〕 Magrath post office was established 1 March 1900, with Ammon Mercer as first postmaster.〔(Post Office Archives page for Magrath )〕
