History

[edit]

Xena was part of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway's (later the Canadian National Railway) alphabetical naming system, appearing between Watrous, Young, and Zelma.[5] Consequentially, it is the only railway station in Western Canada ever to begin with the letter X.

Demographics

[edit]

The population of an unincorporated area is so small, that the census enumerates the residents as a part of the rural municipality.

Attractions
