Leduc is a city in central Alberta located just south of Edmonton along a major transportation corridor. Its proximity to Edmonton International Airport and regional highways has made Leduc an important centre for logistics, industry and residential growth within the Edmonton metropolitan region.
The discovery of oil at the nearby Leduc No. 1 well in 1947 marked a major moment in Alberta’s energy history and contributed to the development of the province’s petroleum industry. This event helped shape the economic identity of the city and the surrounding region.
Today Leduc continues to grow with new residential areas, industrial parks and transportation facilities, while maintaining strong connections to Edmonton and the wider central Alberta economy.
