CITY GUIDE
CAMROSE, ALBERTA

Located in central Alberta, Camrose is a relatively small city of under 20,000 people.

It is linked to other urban centers by railway and by Highway 13.

Camrose was populated for hundreds of years by the Wetaskiwin Indians.

The first white settlers were from Norway, Sweden and USA, in about 1900, and it was a stopping point for pioneers.

First called Stoney Creek, it was incorporated on May 4, 1905 as the village of Sparling - named for Reverend Dr. Sparling of Winnipeg.

Confusion over Sperling and Stirling caused the council to rename it Camrose. The name may be for a village in South Wales.
