Lacombe is a city in central Alberta located between Edmonton and Calgary along one of the province’s main transportation corridors. The city has grown from its agricultural roots into a regional community with residential neighbourhoods, local businesses and services that support the surrounding area.
Its location within a productive farming region helped shape its early development, and agriculture still influences the wider landscape around the city. Lacombe is also known for its historic downtown area, where older buildings reflect its late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century development. In recent years, the city has continued to attract residents seeking a smaller urban setting with convenient access to larger Alberta centres.
Lacombe today offers a balance of regional service functions, community life and historical character in central Alberta.
