Fort Saskatchewan

Fort Saskatchewan is an industrial city in the Edmonton region that stretches along the North Saskatchewan River. The landscape combines factory grounds, residential neighborhoods, and green spaces throughout the city.

The North-West Mounted Police established a post here in 1875 that later became this city. Railway construction in 1905 brought growth and connected the settlement to the wider network.

The place carries memories of its roots as a trading post, visible in local stories and markers throughout the community. Visitors notice these traces in conversations with residents and the small memorials scattered across the city.

The city is crossed by walking and cycling paths that connect key areas and make getting around easy. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing for the season and watch for uneven ground.

The city uses an unusual approach to maintaining green spaces that remains visible to visitors today. This method shows the community's practical thinking and creative problem-solving.
