Magrath is one of two settlements whose origins are tied to the construction of the Galt Irrigation Canal. In 1898 the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints entered into a contract with the Alberta Irrigation Company, which called for the Church to provide labor to construct the Galt Irrigation Canal and to develop two villages of 250 persons each.

Since its completion the area around the canal has transformed itself into a beautiful park with a fish pond, fountain, walking trails, all surrounded by evergreen and cottonwood trees. This is a beautiful park made possible by local businesses and private citizens that contributed time, materials and financial support to this enhancement project. The bricks were placed on this wall in recognition for their contributions.
