Heart Valley

Category : Locality
 

The post office opened here in August 1923. Apparently Jessie McLean, the first postmaster, chose the name for the post office, but exactly why is not known. Perhaps it is due to the fact Mrs. McLean lived near the Bad Heart River, and she used a more positive rendition of the name.

Approximately 45 km north north-east of Grande Prairie.
