Historically Alma...

Pioneers began settling along the Elora Saugeen Road, which forms the main street of Alma, during the 1840s.
Alexander MacCrea and his wife settled here in 1848, and built a store. The "MacCrae's Corners" post office was established in 1854, and MacCrae was postmaster.
In 1854, the settlement's name was changed from MacCrae's Corners to "Alma", after the Battle of Alma.
James Ledingham and his family moved to Alma in 1864, and built a saw and chopping mill.
In 1865, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church was established in Alma. The church moved to a new stone church in Alma in 1892.^[3]
The Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway built a line through Alma in 1870. The line was eventually taken over by Canadian National Railway, and was abandoned in 1983. The Alma railroad station has since been destroyed.
After the railway was constructed, Alma became "a bustling service centre for the local settlers and travellers".^[5] Alma was noted for having a post office, wagon maker, weaver, telegraph office, shoemaker, grist mill, several saw mills, several stores, three churches, and four hotels. In 1879, the population was 250.
