  Thorsby owes its name to more than the Norse god Thor. As historian Merrily Aubrey points out, this Scandinavian settlement lies just southwest of Edmonton.
  It was named by the first postmaster, August Sahlstrom, after his birthplace in Torsby, Sweden.
  The post office was first established in 1908, and August, along with his brothers Charles and Gustav, operated the post office until 1923. The following year, Jacob Magiuk took over the work for about a year and a half, and then the post office closed in July 1925.
  This seems like a fair bit of detail on the comings and goings of a post office, but the post office is the lifeblood of any community.
  The community spirit kept alive, for, by 1929, the Thorsby school district was established, and, in May of 1930, the railroad came through.
  The CPR had established a wye, just outside of Thorsby. And a wye was a place where trains could turn around and head back to Lacombe.
  Earlier that year, the post office re-opened. By 1949, there was enough population in the community to form a village.
  On the Heritage Trail,
  I’m Cheryl Croucher.
  Village
 83 G
 Approximately 49 km south-west of Edmonton.
 The first postmaster, August Sahlstrom, named it after his birthplace in Torsby, Sweden.? He added an h to the spelling. The post office was opened in 1908 and it was incorporated as a village in 1949.
