The Village of Rycroft was established as a village in 1944. It is a very 'tight knit' community with numerous large families and many active community members. The Village of Rycroft is well known as a tourism town in the 60's, 70's and early eighties. It is the hub of the Peace and was originally situated for the Northern Alberta Railroad (also known as NAR). The local campground, Nardam was given this name for that very reason.
