The Town of Three Hills was named after three prominent hills located north of the town. The entire community was moved to its present site on the Canadian Northern Railway (CNR) in 1912 and was incorporated as a village in the same year.
The first settlers were ranchers who freighted their supplies from Didsbury, 48 miles (77.3 kilometers) east. Early ranchers were: Arthur Evans, Fred Brandly, and R.E. Morgan. The second wave of settlers to the area after the ranchers were mixed farmers. As homesteaders settled the region, Three Hills became a major service centre for the large wheat growing area.
