Leduc, Industrial city in Edmonton Metropolitan Region, Canada

Leduc is a city in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, situated across agricultural and industrial lands with residential neighborhoods connected by recreational pathways. The community balances rural heritage with contemporary development across its layout.

The original settlement was known as Telford Place before being renamed after Father Hippolyte Leduc, a priest who served the region. A turning point came in 1947 with the discovery of the Leduc No. 1 oilfield, which fundamentally changed the local economy.

The Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts contains a 460-seat theatre that hosts theatrical productions, musical performances, and community gatherings throughout the year.

Local bus service connects residential areas and major centers, with direct access to Edmonton International Airport and surrounding communities. Visitors will find well-developed infrastructure for getting around the city.

The Leduc No. 1 well attracted worldwide attention and made the region a center of oil exploration in western Canada. This discovery marked the beginning of a new era in regional development and industrial history.
