Valleyview, Municipal center in northwestern Alberta, Canada.
Valleyview sits at the intersection of Highway 43 and Highway 49, between Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake at 700 meters elevation.
The settlement began in 1916 near Red Willow Creek, changed its name to Valleyview in 1929, and achieved town status in 1957.
The Cree people maintained hunting and fishing territories in this region for generations before European traders established a Hudson's Bay Company post in 1877.
The town contains a hospital with 35 acute care beds and 25 extended care beds, serving a regional population of approximately 8,600 residents.
The discovery of oil deposits in 1950 transformed this agricultural community into an energy sector hub within the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.
