Alberta, the westernmost of Canada’s 3 Prairie Provinces, shares many physical features with its neighbours to the east, SASKATCHEWAN and MANITOBA.
The Rocky Mountains form the southern portion of Alberta’s western boundary with BRITISH COLUMBIA. The province possesses the country’s largest deposits of oil and natural gas, and expansion of the petroleum industry from 1947 to 1982 made it the fastest-growing province in that period, producing a westward shift of economic power in Canada.
Alberta been named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, 4th daughter of Queen Victoria. Alberta divided into 2 distinct regions – southern Alberta, with Calgary as its focal point; and central and northern Alberta, with Edmonton as the metropolitan centre.
