ST. ALBERT REAL ESTATE

St. Albert Alberta The City of St. Albert is Alberta's oldest non-fortified community. It was established in 1861, and named for Father Albert Lacombe, one of the earliest missionaries in the West. In 1900, St. Albert was incorporated as a village. Town status came in 1904 and the City designation was subsequently approved in 1977.

This city is accessed by following St. Albert Trail (Highway 2) northwest out of Edmonton for 8 km. This city is renowned for its French heritage and its "public" schools are Catholic, while the "separate" schools are Protestant.

The Sturgeon River Valley shapes the urban landscape of St. Albert. This slow moving and shallow river created gentle rolling hills that are a contrast to the flat prairie surroundings. The river-lot system, styled after rural Quebec townships, defines the majority of land parcel sizes and shapes along both sides of the Sturgeon River. Streams, ravines and drainage channels leading to the river continue to be preserved in their natural state as much as possible.

Today, St. Albert has a population of over 53,000 residents and it's land mass covers over 34 square kilometers.
