History

The area around Camrose was first settled in around 1900. At that time the nearby settlement of Wetaskiwin was a major center for pioneers; typically, it was the last stopping-off point before they set out in search of nearby land. The site that was to be Camrose was about a day's journey from Wetaskiwin along the railroad, which made it a popular place on the route of pioneers. Soon businessmen and other settlers arrived to stay. The settlers came primarily from Scandinavian countries, such as Norway and Sweden, and many settlers also came from the United States. At that time the settlement was known as the hamlet of Stoney Creek. In 1904, Stoney Creek began receiving mail service, its first businesses began to open, and its first RCMP officer (Constable "Blue" Smith) arrived. Äž: For the film, see: 1900 (film). ...

On May 4, 1905, the settlement was incorporated as the village of Sparling, named for Reverend Dr. Sparling. However, because the name was often confused with Sperling and Stirling, in 1906 the Village Council renamed the settlement to Camrose.^[4] There is no factual evidence about the reason for the choice of the name Camrose, but it is generally thought that it was named after the town Camrose, Pembrokeshire in South Wales. In December, 1906, Camrose was incorporated as a town.

In March 1907 the town erected a building for town administration, which also held its first police and fire station. In October, 1907 men from Alberta Government Telephones set up Camrose' first telephone exchange, and by 1908 about fifty residents had telephone access. 1911 saw the construction of Camrose' first power plant.

From 1905 to 1914, there was a great deal of railway construction in the Camrose area. Camrose became a bit of a railroad hub, sitting on railways that connected to Edmonton and Calgary, as well as many of the smaller towns in central Alberta, such as Vegreville, Stettler, Drumheller, and Wetaskiwin. By 1914, twelve passenger trains came through Camrose daily. In those days the growth of Camrose was strongly linked with the railroad. For other uses, see 1905 (disambiguation). ...

Camrose has continued to expand, even as the significance of the railroads waned. It is now stretching out along Highway 13, and is becoming a major stop for travelers along that road.

Education

Post-secondary

The primary post-secondary institution in Camrose is the Augustana Faculty of the University of Alberta (formerly known as Augustana University College). Established in 1910 by Norwegian settlers, under the name Camrose Lutheran College, Augustana is still inspired by convictions that are part of its pioneer legacy: that personal wholeness emerges from a liberal education, that the proper end of leadership is service to others, and that the spirit of cooperation so crucial to rural life invigorates human endeavour. As a Faculty of the University of Alberta, Augustana continues to build on its reputation for high-quality teaching in a friendly, caring, residence-based setting. In doing so, it provides a distinctive small-campus undergraduate experience within one of Canada’s leading universities. Augustana remains mindful of its heritage, open to a diversity of perspectives and backgrounds, and responsive to the rural region in which it is located. The University of Alberta (U of A) is a public coeducational research university located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. ... Augustana University College was a Lutheran college in Camrose, Alberta, Canada from 1910 to 2004. ...

City life

Parks

Camrose is often called the "Rose City" due to its large amount of Parkland containing a large number of wild roses. Also, local rose grower, Jerry Twomey, bred and patented the beautiful Camrose Rose to honor his birth place. This elegant tea rose boasts abundant pink blooms and rich green foliage, making it the most stunning flower in our rose beds. Developed to withstand the drastic Alberta climate, the Camrose Rose was introduced to the city in 1995. It may be seen on display at the Bill Fowler Center.

• Jubilee Park is often used by the community, located in a valley and featuring barbecue shelters, a wandering stream and wide open space.
• Mirror Lake sits in the centre of the city. The lake is home to two species of swan; the trumpeter and the Polish mute. The city of Camrose provides a winter shelter to the clipped birds. These swans have called Camrose home for over twenty years. Mirror Lake Park is the focal point of the Camrose urban parks system. Located on the edge of Mirror Lake, it is the home of the Bill Fowler Centre which contains the Chamber of Commerce office and the Tourist Information Centre. The Bill Fowler Centre features a nature mural, carved out of red brick. The mural features many of the animals which are indigenous to the Mirror Lake area.
• Mirror Lake flows from Stoney Creek, which wanders through the city, and provides a river valley for viewing wildlife through paved walking paths.
