Whitecourt, Administrative town in Northern Alberta, Canada.
Located at the junction of Highway 43 and Highway 32, Whitecourt extends across three geographic areas including a valley, Hilltop district, and industrial West Whitecourt.
The area, known by Cree people as Sagitawah, received its first Hudson's Bay Company trading post in 1897, with John Goodwin establishing permanent residence in 1905.
The education system operates through Northern Gateway Regional Division and Living Waters Catholic Regional Division, providing comprehensive schooling from kindergarten through high school.
The Allan & Jean Millar Centre provides sports facilities while Festival Park offers outdoor recreation spaces for residents and visitors throughout the year.
Three major sectors support the local economy: forestry operations including Blue Ridge Lumber, oil and gas extraction, and tourism activities.
