Banff is a town in Banff National Park in Alberta, located 1,400 to 1,630 m above sea level. The town on the Bow River is a popular tourist destination in both the summer and winter months. The town area was settled in the 1880s after the transcontinental railway was built through the Bow Valley. The Canadian Pacific Railway established the Banff Springs Hotel and promoted Banff as an international tourist resort.
During the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway's railway line, natural hot springs were discovered on Sulphur Mountain. A federal reserve was established and named "Rocky Mountain Park". This was the beginning of the Canadian National Park system.
