The History of the Christian Fish Symbol

- In the year 1908, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway reached Chauvin.
The Village itself was incorporated on December 30, 1912 and was named after George Von Chauvin, an engineer with the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
- The Royal North-West-Mounted Police out of North Battleford did the policing. This continued until around 1917, when the Alberta Provincial Police took over the barracks at Wainwright. At that time, Chauvin and Edgerton became part of their jurisdiction.

Village of Chauvin

- Chauvin is located 60 kilometres (37 mi) east of Wainwright, and 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west of the Saskatchewan border. It is also the home of Susie the Softball, the world's largest softball. Wikipedia
