Royalite No. 4 blows in at Turner Valley
On October 14, 1924, the Royalite No. 4 well struck a high-pressure sour gas and naphtha zone at Turner Valley, blowing in as one of the field's largest producers. The well blew wild and later ignited, and the discovery launched Turner Valley's second great boom.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
