Lacombe, Agricultural research center in Lacombe, Alberta.
Located between Edmonton and Red Deer, Lacombe stands at an elevation of 855 meters in the rolling parkland of central Alberta, Canada.
The Canadian Pacific Railway arrived in Lacombe during 1891, transforming the settlement into a transportation hub for the surrounding agricultural region.
Lacombe received its name from Albert Lacombe, a French-Canadian Roman Catholic missionary who fostered peace between the Cree and Blackfoot First Nations.
The downtown area contains multiple restored Edwardian structures, including the Flatiron Building which functions as a museum displaying local history.
The Lacombe Research and Development Centre created the first Canadian livestock breed, known as the Lacombe hog, advancing agricultural innovation.
