Turner Valley was a town in the Calgary Metropolitan Region of Alberta, Canada within the Town of Diamond Valley. It is on Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail),[6] 3 km (1.9 mi) west of Black Diamond and approximately 60 km (37 mi) southwest of Calgary. It was named after Robert and John Turner who settled in the area in 1886.[7]
The town was once the centre of an oil and natural gas boom. For 30 years, the Turner Valley oilfields were a major supplier of oil and gas and the largest producer in the British Empire.
