History

On October 20, 1939, a lost pet crow belonging to farmer Ben Alberts from near Brooks, Alberta was shot dead by Isabel rancher J. H. Wortman, after having travelled 800 miles south. Identification of the pet was possible through his name tag. He became lost south because he still had the animal instinct to migrate during the Fall. [6]

In 1923, the town had a church. [7]

The now-abandoned Isabel Country School once existed in the area. [4]
