Downtown Okotoks is the town's historic core, built up along the Sheep River where river crossings and stopping houses first drew settlers in the 1880s; the community was incorporated in the 1890s and became a town on June 1, 1904, taking its name from a Blackfoot word for rock, a nod to the nearby Big Rock erratic. The core is anchored by heritage buildings, including the 1906 Okotoks United Church (built of brick and sandstone), the 1929 former CPR station that now houses the Okotoks Art Gallery, the 1906 Old Church Theatre, and the Okotoks Museum and Archives. Today the district is walkable, lined with independent shops, boutiques and cafes, with a self-guided Downtown Discovery Walk connecting the sites, and riverside pathways along the Sheep River just steps from Elizabeth Street.
