Devon, Town center in Alberta, Canada
The town stretches along the southern bank of the North Saskatchewan River, approximately 26 kilometers southwest of Edmonton, covering 14 square kilometers.
Imperial Oil established Devon following the discovery of the Leduc No. 1 oil well in 1947, making it the first Canadian community approved by a regional planning commission.
The town maintains international connections through its sister city relationship with Grimma, Germany, established in 2008, facilitating student exchanges and music festivals.
Devon provides educational facilities including Devon Christian School, Holy Spirit Catholic School, John Maland High School, Riverview Middle School, and Robina Baker Elementary.
The town name originates from the Devonian geological formation where oil reserves were discovered, connecting directly to the region's petroleum heritage.
