== History ==
Originally, Penhold was one of the many whistle stops along the [[Canadian Pacific Railway]]. It incorporated as the Village of Penhold in 1904. The origin of the name "Penhold" appears to have been around the time that the railroad siding named "Penhold" was established. Research has found no earlier instances of that name.
 
In 1981, the Village of Penhold incorporated as a town as a result of large population growth in the late 1970s.
