Tollerton was established as a division point along the Canadian Northern Railway. Its rail facilities included a train station, a timber water tank, an ice house, a bunk house, a steam-heated engine house, and three rail sidings with capacity to hold 249 cars.[2]
The community incorporated as the Village of Tollerton on December 27, 1913. In 1917, a decision was made to close the Canadian Northern Railway line in favour of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway through Edson to the north, resulting in the demise of Tollerton.[2] Subsequently, the community dissolved from village status on January 26, 1918.
In the 1916 Census of Prairie Provinces, Tollerton had a population of 49,[3] although Alberta Municipal Affairs indicated that it had a population of 180 in the same year.[4]
