Lakeside Hutterite Bruderhof, located near Cranford, Alberta, was founded in 1935. Their preacher, Peter Hofer, who was chosen in the Wolf Creek Bruderhof in 1926, moved to the Wolf Creek commune near Stirling, Alberta to form the Wolf Creek Hutterite Colony (New Dayton, Alberta, Canada), and from there went with several families to found the Lakeside Bruderhof. Joseph Wipf was chosen to the ministry here in 1944. In 1947 the commune numbered 162 souls, with 64 baptized members.

Daughter colonies of the Lakeside Hutterite Colony include: Pine Hill Hutterite Colony (Penhold, Alberta, Canada); Spring Creek Hutterite Colony (Walsh, Alberta, Canada); Starland Hutterite Colony (Drumheller, Alberta, Canada); and Hillridge Hutterite Colony (Barnwell, Alberta, Canada).

In 2023 the Lakeside Hutterite Colony was a Dariusleut colony.
