The Ranchmen's Club, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is a private club established in 1891[1]. Founded by a group of ranchers and businessmen, the club served as a gathering place for individuals involved in Alberta's early development, including those in ranching, politics, and industry. The club's original clubhouse was replaced in 1914 by its current location at 710 13th Avenue SW, designed by architect James Teague in the Edwardian style. The building has been recognized as a historic site and has undergone renovations to preserve its character while updating its facilities.
Membership at the Ranchmen's Club is by invitation only, and the club has historically included leaders from various sectors, such as agriculture, oil and gas, finance, and government. The club admitted its first female members in the 1990s. The Ranchmen's Club is known for its formal atmosphere, providing amenities such as dining, meeting rooms, a library, and recreational facilities. The club hosts events, including the annual Ranchmen's Ball, which has been a notable event in Calgary's social calendar since the club's inception.
Over the years, the Ranchmen's Club has hosted several distinguished guests, including King Edward VIII during his time as the Prince of Wales. The club also engages in community involvement, supporting charitable initiatives and providing scholarships and mentorship opportunities related to agriculture and business.
The Ranchmen's Club is committed to preserving its history and heritage. The club's archives contain documents, photographs, and artifacts that reflect Calgary's development and the role of the ranching industry in the region. Today, the Ranchmen's Club continues to serve as a significant institution in Calgary's business and social life.
