Evansburg has a long history, along with its sister, Entwistle across the Pembina River. The following comes from the Evansburg / Entwistle Partners on the Pembina website.

""The official town site of Evansburg dates back to 1910 with the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and the completion of the railroad trestle across the Pembina River from Entwistle. It was in 1907 that Harry Marshall Erskine Evans, as head mining engineer, had arrived in the area to test the coal along the banks of the Pembina River. Evansburg started as a coal company town, with grocery store, hotel, power and water (pumped from the Pembina and distributed by stand pipes in various areas) all owned and furnished by the Western Canada Land Company. Mr. Evans left the area in 1910, later becoming mayor of Edmonton and chairman of the Alberta Coal Commission and an advisor to the Provincial Government.
