Fort Saskatchewan is a city in Alberta located northeast of Edmonton along the North Saskatchewan River. It forms part of the Edmonton metropolitan region and has developed as an important industrial and residential community connected to the broader regional economy.
The city’s name reflects its origins as a nineteenth-century trading post established during the early settlement of western Canada. Over time the area expanded through agriculture, transportation and later industrial development associated with nearby petrochemical facilities.
Today Fort Saskatchewan combines residential neighbourhoods, industry and community services, while maintaining strong economic links with Edmonton and surrounding municipalities.
