Crossfield is on Highway 2A, 43 km north of Calgary, in Rocky View County, with Highway 574 heading west from town. It began in 1892 as a siding about 29 miles north of Calgary on the new Calgary and Edmonton Railway, named after an engineer on the survey crew. By 1904 it had a post office, a general store, a hotel and a school, and the first grain elevator opened in 1906.
Crossfield became a village in 1907 and a town in 1980. A fire in 1924 destroyed much of the commercial core, and the Crossfield Gas Plant arrived in 1965. The Pete Knight Memorial Arena and Pete Knight Days are named for Pete Knight, whose rodeo accomplishments in the 1930s helped put Crossfield on the map, and the Farmers' Market runs Thursday afternoons from July to the end of September.
