Paul Guthrie (1904-1993) was a pioneer oilman, rancher and horse breeder. Guthrie was born in Michigan and came to Canada with his parents in 1910, settling near Edgerton. In 1922 he helped build Lloydminster's first gas well and, 25 years later, after oil was discovered in Leduc, set up Leduc's first independent oil well. Later, Guthrie's company discovered oil near Valleyview. After his retirement from the oil field, Guthrie established a ranch and bred Polish Arabian horses. The Guthrie Ravine is located on property he once owned.
