Alberta
If you were in a province in Canada which is considered the crop leader of the country producing 46% of Canada’s barley, 34% of Canada’s canola, 30% of the country’s wheat, 23% of Canada’s honey, and 100% of the nation’s sugar beets, where would you be? Alberta, naturally! The Aboriginal people, the Piegan, Cree, Blackfoot, Blood, Gros Ventre, Sarcee, Kootenay, Beaver and Slavey Indians, speaking a variety of Athapaskan and Algonkian languages, were the first people to live in what is now Alberta. The first European to reach what is now Alberta was Anthony Henday in 1754, although the land was claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1670. In 1867 the new Canadian Government acquired the North West Territories, including present day Alberta from the Hudson's Bay Company. On September 1, 1905, Alberta, named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, became a province of Canada with Edmonton as its capital city. The province of Alberta was created by joining the District of Alberta with parts of the districts of Athabasca, Assiniboia and Saskatchewan. Subsequently, the discovery and growth of the oil and gas industry after 1947, modernized the province.
