Cessford is a hamlet on Secondary Highway 876, approximately 100 kilometers southeast of Drumheller. Axel Anderson and his wife came from Cass Ford, Sweden, and they names their homestead Cess Ford, according to the farm’s later owner, longtime resident Dorothy Williams. Mrs. A.E. Anderson served as postmistress from 1910-1917 and evidently operated the post office out of her farmhouse pantry. The post office shortened the homestead name to Cessford.
