TOWN OF BANFF
Established in the 1880s, Banff was originally developed as a resort town following the discovery of natural hot springs by Canadian Pacific Railway workers. Recognizing the potential for tourism, the Canadian government designated the area as Canada's first national park in 1885, and Banff quickly evolved into a popular destination for visitors seeking the therapeutic benefits of the hot springs and the stunning beauty of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. Over the years, Banff has grown into a vibrant year-round destination, attracting nature enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and tourists from around the world.
