Shouldice, Alberta

Shouldice is a hamlet in southern Alberta, Canada within Vulcan County. It is located approximately 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) south of Highway 1 and 85 kilometres (53 mi) southeast of Calgary.

The hamlet is named after James Shouldice, rancher and philanthropist who operated a 1,700-acre ranch and farm in the area between 1906 and 1925.

In 1911, Shouldice also gave his name to Shouldice Terrace, a community near Calgary. Postal delivery errors were a frequent problem for residents of both the hamlet of Shouldice and Shouldice Terrace. The Terrace's name was changed to Montgomery in 1943, after the Canadian Post Office refused to grant the Terrace a post office with the same name as the hamlet's.

The population of Shouldice according to the 2007 municipal census conducted by Vulcan County is 7.
