Eckville is a town in central Alberta, Canada. It is west of Red Deer on Highway 766 just north of Highway 11.
== History == Eckville gets its name from A. E. T. Eckford, a European colonist. Eckville relocated to its current location in 1912, after the Canadian Northern Railway completed its local line. The current location on the Canadian Northern Railway was briefly known as Kootuk, but the name Eckville prevailed. Eckville was incorporated as a village in 1921 and became a town in 1966. Eckville had a significant Estonian population, with 171 Estonians living there by 1910.
