About Our Location and Community
Quick Lane Red Deer is located 417 Lantern Street, Red Deer, AB T4E 0A5 on the corner of Lantern and Laura Streets across from the Gasoline Alley Farmer's Market.
Red Deer is a city located about halfway between Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Originally settled in 1884, today it is the 4th largest city in Alberta and had over 100,000 residents as of the 2016 census. The city today is known for oil production, cattle products and grain.
Red River was named for the river on which it sits. The natives called the river Waskasoo Seepee--interpreted as “Elk River”. However, British settlers mistakenly translated it to “Red Deer River” as they thought Elk were the same as the European red deer. Originally inhabited by aboriginal tribes including Blackfoot, Plains Cree and Stoney, the city of Red Deer was first introduced to European fur traders in the late 18th century as a crossing point of the Red River. The crossing was about halfway in between the cities of Calgary and Edmonton. Fort Calgary was established in 1875, which led to increased traffic on the Calgary-Edmonton Trail. The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railroad in Calgary caused the traffic along the Calgary and Edmonton trail to substantially increase. A trading post and stopping house were constructed at the Red River crossing in 1882, fast tracking the creation of Red Deer as a village in 1884.
Aboriginal tribes began to decline as hunters decimated the bison population that they depended on for food, clothing and shelter. The lands around the Red River were very fertile and highly attractive to farmers in the area. Reverend Leonard Gaetz donated a half share of 5 square km to the Calgary Edmonton Railway to construct a bridge over the river and a town site. The bridge was constructed, and the first train ran through Red Deer in 1891.
The fertile fields were the main draw for early residents, but the railroad brought other opportunities for trading and shipping of agricultural products. The town incorporated in 1901 with a population of 343 people. The Canadian Pacific Railway decided to make Red Deer a major divisional spot in 1907. Just four years later in 1911, two competitors also entered Red Deer-The Canadian Northern and Alberta Central Railways. This led to a large boom in the area, but was slowed with the beginning of World War I. The town was left alone as a small, quiet, prairie city and spared from further development.
The end of WW I coincided with increase in inflation and high unemployment that plagued the area throughout the 1920's and 1930's. Red Deer owned its public utilities and was able to survive due to the profit generated. They did not have any debt and were spared from drought enabling their agriculture industry to continue.
The outbreak of WWII rejuvenated the city as it was designated as a military training camp (the A-20 camp) that was located where the Memorial Centre, Cormack Armory and Lindsay Thurber High School currently stand. Also, there were two British Commonwealth Air Training Plan air bases constructed just south of the city in Penhold and Bowden.
After WWII, oil and natural gas were discovered in the area and the city has benefitted from a prolonged boom ever since. The area is now a centre for oil and natural gas production and related petroleum industries.
Red Deer has a strong arts and cultural make-up. It is home to Central Alberta Theatre, Ignition Theatre, Red Deer Players Society, Bull Skit Comedy Troupe, Central Music Festival and Red Deer Symphony Orchestra. It is also home to the Red Deer Arts Council, a registered charity that is a multi-disciplinary arts organization that serves the local visual, literary and performing artists.
It is also home to the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Waskasoo Park. The Park follows along the Red River from the outskirts of town in the northeast through the center of town and back to the outskirts in the southeast. There are over 8- km of trails used for rollerblading, walking, biking, horseback riding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame is not your typical museum dedicated to sports. It has all the Alberta sports greats, but it is an interactive adventure with a 200-meter wheelchair challenge, climbing wall and virtual multi-sport area in addition to the Hall of Fame gallery.
From a little hunting ground for aboriginal tribes to the thriving city it is today, Red Deer has a rich and storied history. You can find out more on the City of Red Deer site or come enjoy it in person.
