Camrose

Scandinavian railroad hub on Highway 13

Camrose in brief

Camrose started as the hamlet of Stoney Creek, a day's travel from Wetaskiwin for pioneers heading farther into central Alberta. Scandinavian settlers from Norway and Sweden, plus newcomers from the United States, stuck around; mail, shops, and an RCMP officer arrived by 1904, and the Village of Camrose incorporated in 1905.

Rails soon linked it to Edmonton, Calgary, and smaller towns across the region. Mirror Lake still anchors the centre of town, and a big annual Scandinavian festival keeps the heritage loud and friendly.
