Airdrie is a city in Alberta, Canada, located just north of Calgary within the Calgary-Edmonton Corridor.
Airdrie was first extablished as a railway village in 1889 during the construction of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway.
Airdrie is situated on the Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Alberta's busiest highway) which connects Calgary and Edmonton, thus making it a small transportation hub.
By 1909 Airdrie was an incorporated village with 32 houses.
This trend accelerated to such a degree that between 1976 and 1981 the population increased almost 500%, and Airdrie was dubbed Canada's fastest growing town.
While the majority of Airdrie's work force commutes to Calgary, much local employment is provided in the city's East Lake Industrial Park.
