The Village of Bawlf was established in 1905 with the coming of the railroad and has experienced the growths and declines of a small prairie village. It was named after Nicholas Bawlf, president of the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Many of the streets and avenues have been given the names of pioneer families.

Bawlf is very fortunate to have an excellent supply of water. There are two deep wells about 2 miles south of the Village. The water is chlorinated and has a rust removal system. Samples are sent weekly for testing.

Bawlf has a well-equipped volunteer fire department. There are two pumper trucks and one rescue van. Rodney Blatz is Fire Chief (and Director of Public Works) and Armand Magnin is Deputy Fire Chief. To report a fire, please call 911.

Bawlf has cable TV. Northern Cablevision can be reached by calling 1-800-661-1904 for further information and hookups.

All dogs in the Village must have a tag, which is available at the Village Office. Please note that all dogs must be kept in an enclosure or on a leash at all times. In terms of by-law enforcement, the Village is served by Alberta Animal Services.  By-law complaints must be made at the Village Office in writing.

Household garbage is picked on Friday morning. Garbage must be in plastic garbage bags and placed in an animal-proof container. Most other garbage can be taken to the Kelsey transfer site, located 5 miles south, 2.5 miles west of Bawlf. The transfer station is open 9-5 on Saturdays and does not charge for this service.  Old appliances, furniture, metal, etc., must be hauled to the Camrose dump, where a tipping fee is charged.
