History

Improvement District (I.D.) No. 9 was originally formed as I.D. No. 51 on April 1, 1945 through the amalgamation of I.D. Nos. 224, 255, 285, and 317, as well as portions of I.D. Nos. 193, 223, 253, 254, 284, 314, 315, 316, 347, 348, and 378.[2] I.D. No. 51 was renumbered to I.D. No. 9 on January 1, 1969.[2]

Formerly part of I.D. No. 9, Banff separated from the improvement district and incorporated as a town on January 1, 1990.[4]
