Aetna is a hamlet east of Secondary Highway 501, approximately 70 kilometres southwest of Lethbridge.

In 1893, Charles Ora Card (for whom the town of Cardston was named) and other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints met to organize a new ward for the church a short distance from its centre at Cardston. John W. Taylor, who served on the church’s Quorum of 12 Apostles, a governing body, suggested the name Aetna, as one of the nearby hills (now called Buffalo Hill) reportedly reminded him of the Sicilian volcano, Mount Aetna. A Post Office opened at Aetna in 1900.
