Wetaskiwin, Administrative center in Alberta, Canada
Wetaskiwin stands at an elevation of 760 meters, positioned 70 kilometers south of Edmonton with sandy hills and silty flatlands shaping its landscape.
The settlement emerged as a railway stop in 1890, receiving village status in 1899, town designation in 1902, and finally city status in 1906.
The name originates from the Cree word 'wītaskiwinihk', marking the location where Cree and Blackfoot nations established a lasting peace agreement.
The Manluk Centre provides residents with water activities and fitness facilities, while multiple highways connect the city to major provincial destinations.
The municipal water tower from 1909 remains one of the oldest functioning structures of its type across Canadian territories.
