The Hudson’s Bay Company was the first European to arrive in the Edmonton area. In 1754, Fort Edmonton was founded as a trading post. With the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the mid-nineteenth century, the city’s economy and the population grew, and in 1904, Edmonton became the capital of Alberta province. Edmonton’s economic growth in the early 1900s resulted from the arrival of railroads and later from roads, oil and gas pipelines, and an international airport.
Edmonton is sometimes is referred to as “Texas of Canada” when it comes to oil and beef. The city attracts visitors every year with more than 30 festivals annually, the Telus World of Science planetarium, the Fort Edmonton Park – the largest living history museum, one of the largest shopping centers in North America – the West Edmonton Mall, and much more.
