HISTORY OF WOKING, ALBERTA

Woking was established as a station for the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway. The station was named by J.B. Prest, an engineer for the railway who also named other stations in the area like Prestville, (east of Rycroft) and Wanham. J.B. Prest came from Woking in Surrey, near London and "Woking" means an area of the family or followers of a man called Wocca. It wasn't until 1927 that settling began around Woking. In 1929 the Chinook Valley School opened and shortly after a store was built. Before this residents of the area had to travel to Spirit River for supplies. The first post office in this community opened in 1932 and at that time a small school was built. In 1935 UGG built Woking's first grain elevator. Later a new school was built along with a train station in 1949.

Woking is abundant with oil and gas but the area is mainly agricultural with grain and cattle being the primary industry. At one time there were 2 elevators in the community of Woking. Today there is none. A UFA gas station, bulk fuel outlet and garage was in operation in this community, but finally closed for lack of business.
