Alberta, Western province in Canada.
Alberta extends across 662,000 square kilometers of land, containing prairie grasslands, boreal forests, mountains, and numerous lakes within its boundaries.
The province received its name from Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, daughter of Queen Victoria, and gained provincial status in September 1905.
First Nations communities, including Plains Indians and Woodland Cree, maintain their traditional practices and languages throughout the province's territories.
The province contains six national parks, including Banff and Jasper, which remain accessible through an extensive network of highways and mountain roads.
Alberta produces 70 percent of Canadian petroleum, with substantial oil deposits first discovered at Leduc Number 1 well in 1947.
