Three Hills was incorporated as a village in 1912, the year it was moved to its current location on the Canadian Northern Railway. With ranchers and farmers constituting its first residents, it soon became a centre for the surrounding wheat-growing area.
It is so named because of the three highly visible hills that are situated to its north.
The population of the Town of Three Hills according to its 2008 municipal census is 3,322.
