You will be welcomed in Red Deer, Alberta, a vibrant city with a rich history. Incorporated as a city in 1913, Red Deer is home to a population of 100,844 as per the 2021 census. The estimated 2024 population of Red Deer is 118,463.
Situated on the picturesque Red Deer River, the city is located 150 km south of Edmonton. Interestingly, the Cree originally named the river ‘Elk,’ but Scottish fur traders mistook elk for the red deer of their homeland.
The original settlement was established at a ford where the trail from Calgary to Edmonton crossed the river (Red Deer Crossing), just west of the present city site. A militia post, Fort Normandeau, was built there during the North West Rebellion of 1885.
