Clairmont is a hamlet in northern Alberta, Canada within the County of Grande Prairie No.[5] The first use of the name "Clairmont" was in 1907 by the earliest surveyor of the township boundaries, JB Saint Cyr.[6] Development of the townsite really got started once it was surveyed and after the arrival of the Edmonton, Dunvegan & British Columbia Railway in 1916.By the end of 1916, the townsite had a railway station, two or three grain elevators, an agent's house, the Buffalo Lakes Lumber Yard, Clairmont Hotel, a Union Bank, a butcher shop, several stores, a Baptist church, and a handful of residences.[8] In 1922, a large fire consumed many Clairmont businesses, while a train station was built in 1923.
