Why Seven Persons?

There are two stories that give explanation to how Seven Persons received it's name:

1.  Around 1891 a railroad company began building the Soo Spokane Flier, a rail line built to fill the need for transportation south of the South Saskatchewan River to the United States border.  It is said that the construction crew of this railway came across seven graves near the site.  A decision was made that this would become the name of the hamlet and surrounding area. 

2.  A Blood Indian band  encountered and did battle with a band of Cree Indians near a creek in south-eastern Albert.  Seven Cree were killed, and their medicine pipes taken.  The site was given an Indian name which can be interpreted in English to mean Seven Persons.
