McAdam was founded and grew thanks to one sole reason, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and the majestic train station built in 1900. The jobs became some of the best-paying in the country for a short period of time until travel by rail slowed thereby affecting the industry. Eventually, the railway station was purchased by VIA Rail. Many people moved away looking for new work.
