It is located on Highway 23, approximately 74 kilometres north of Lethbridge and 147 kilometres south of Calgary. Homesteaders began arriving in the Champion area in 1904 and 1905, mainly from the US, Eastern Canada, and Britain. The vast prairie grasslands, cut through by the Little Bow River, provided ideal country for farming and ranching. One of these settlers was Martin G. Clever, who arrived in 1905. He homesteaded on the quarter section of land where the town of Champion is currently located.
