Wikipedia description:
Black Diamond is a town in the Calgary Metropolitan Region of Alberta, Canada that is now within municipality of Diamond Valley. It is at the intersection of Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail) and Highway 7. Its first post office opened in 1907. Black Diamond is named because of coal deposits near the original town site. Little oil or gas remains. It is a sister town to Turner Valley, and has a hospital, shops, hotels and residences, elementary school (K-6th grade), high school (7th-12th grade), hockey rink and a Boys and Girls Club. Black Diamond is located in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies in the midst of some of Canada's best ranch country. A 3 km (1.9 mi) trail next to the roadway between Black Diamond and Turner Valley is named the Friendship Trail.
