Welcome to Brownvale Community Library

The Brownvale Community Library is one of the oldest buildings in the hamlet, and is still in use. Located on 3rd Avenue next to the playground. It was first used in Grimshaw and re-located to Brownvale in the early 1960's.

Where is Brownvale?

Located 161 km north of Grande Prairie, Alberta, on Highway 2 is the Hamlet of Brownvale, with a population of approximately 130. Brownvale is 10 km from Berwyn.

In 1924 Brownvale was created as a urban centre to serve the agricultural area. The owner of the homestead that was chosen for this site was John Brown who arrived in the district in 1913. "Vale" was added to the name of the hamlet, as it described the sloping landscape of the area. The land slopes downward in three directions from the Hamlet.
