Lake Louise
is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within Improvement District No. 9 Banff (Banff
National Park). The hamlet is named for the nearby Lake Louise, which in turn
was named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth
daughter of Queen Victoria, and the wife of John Campbell, the 9th Duke of
Argyll, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The hamlet
was originally called Laggan,
and was a station along the Canadian Pacific Railway route. It was built in
1890. The rail station building was preserved and
moved into Heritage Park in Calgary. Source
