▲'''Keoma''' is a
Keoma is located approximately 35 km (21 mi) northeast of [[Downtown Calgary|Downtown]] [[Calgary]], on [[Alberta Highway 566|Highway 566]], 2.0 km (1.2 mi) east of [[Alberta Highway 9|Highway 9]] and 19 km (12 mi) north of the [[Trans-Canada Highway]].
"Keoma" is an Indian name for “over there”, far away. The hamlet was settled in 1910 when the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]] opened up land for irrigation. It is assumed that the C.P.R. named the site, but this is not definitive. The post office was in operation from January 15, 1910 to June 27, 1986.▼
