Fort McMurray, Alberta

Fort McMurray is a hamlet in the northeastern part of Canada's western province of Alberta, in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, Alberta. Although it is commonly referred to and thought of as being a city, Fort McMurray is no longer incorporated. Thus, Fort McMurray has the status of being the largest unincorporated "city" in Alberta, and possibly Canada.

History

Fort Chipewyan is Alberta's oldest settled community. Over 200 years ago, Peter Pond and the voyageurs of the Northwest Trading Company traveled this area in search of furs.
