History

In 1910, the first post office used by area residents was Longworth, located in the home of Cassie Baldwin.[7] The townsite of Abbey was originally owned by a man named D.F. Kennedy. In 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) bought a quarter section of land from him to build a rail line.[7] The CPR gave Mr. Kennedy the honour of naming the community, giving it the name Abbey - the name of the Kennedy farm in Ireland.[8] Abbey incorporated as a village on September 2, 1913.[9]

Abbey Fire Hall

Abbey has one municipal heritage property on the Canadian Register of Historic Places, the Abbey Fire Hall. Constructed in 1919 in response to a large fire that threatened the community in September 1918, the fire station was part of an upgrade to fire protection in Abbey. The station remained in service until a new fire station was constructed in 1975. The station is currently not in use, however the siren on the station tower is still used to signal emergencies in the community.[10]
