The Neighborhood:
Delacour, a small hamlet in Rocky View County, Alberta, offers a serene rural escape just 10 km east of Calgary and 24 km from its bustling downtown. Nestled in a picturesque creek valley, this tranquil community of about 5-10 residents (based on recent censuses) blends rustic charm with proximity to urban amenities. Here are the key highlights of Delacour, tailored for a general audience interested in its unique features:
Rural Serenity and Scenic Beauty
Delacour’s creek valley setting provides a peaceful backdrop of rolling landscapes, ideal for those seeking a quiet retreat. The hamlet’s sprawling acreages, hobby farms, and elegant country estates offer ample space for privacy and outdoor activities like horseback riding, hiking, and nature exploration. Its flat, fertile plains are part of Rocky View County’s agricultural heartland, with views of the distant Rocky Mountains adding to the allure.
Delacour Golf Club
A standout feature, the Delacour Golf Club offers a scenic and accessible course for golf enthusiasts. Known for its well-maintained fairways and relaxed atmosphere, it’s a draw for locals and visitors seeking a day on the greens amidst the hamlet’s natural beauty.
Historical Significance
Named after a Danish foreman of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway construction crew, Delacour’s history is tied to the railway’s development. The first passenger train passed through on February 28, 1914, and the Canadian National Railway still operates the line. A small store and post office, established in 1914 and 1915 respectively, reflect the hamlet’s modest but enduring community roots.
Delacour General Store
This quaint store serves as a community hub, offering essential goods and friendly service. It embodies the hamlet’s welcoming vibe, catering to residents and passersby seeking convenience in a rural setting.
Proximity to Calgary
Despite its secluded feel, Delacour is a short commute from Calgary, making it perfect for those who want rural tranquility with easy access to city amenities. Major routes like Highway 1 and Highway 9 connect the hamlet to Calgary and beyond, enhancing its appeal for commuters and visitors.
Recreational Opportunities
Delacour’s open spaces are ideal for outdoor pursuits. The surrounding Rocky View County offers attractions like Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park and Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, both within driving distance, where visitors can hike, bike, or enjoy waterfalls and rolling hills. The county’s equestrian culture also thrives, with nearby trails and facilities for horse enthusiasts.
Community and Rural Lifestyle
Delacour actively preserves its rural heritage through local markets and farm events, fostering a tight-knit community spirit. Its low population and expansive properties appeal to those valuing privacy and a slower pace of life
