Drumheller {{IPAc-en|d|r|ʌ|m|ˈ|h|ɛ|l|ər}} is a town within the Red Deer River valley in the badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located {{convert|110|km|mi}} northeast of Calgary. The Drumheller portion of the Red Deer River valley, often referred to as Dinosaur Valley, has an approximate width of {{convert|2|km|mi}} and an approximate length of {{convert|28|km|mi}}.

History

The Town of Drumheller was named after Samuel Drumheller, who, after purchasing the homestead of Thomas Patrick Greentree, had it surveyed into the original Drumheller townsite and put lots on the market in 1911.

Drumheller became a railway station in 1912.[5] It then incorporated as a village on May 15, 1913, a town on March 2, 1916 and a city on April 3, 1930.[6] Over a 15-year period, Drumheller's population increased {{percentage|{{#expr: 2987 - 312 }}| 312 | 0 }} from 312 in 1916[7] to 2,987 in 1931[8] shortly after becoming a city.

The City of Drumheller amalgamated with the Municipal District (MD) of Badlands No. 7 on January 1, 1998 to form the current Town of Drumheller.[9] Some of the reasons the two municipalities amalgamated included the MD of Badlands No. 7 having more in common with Drumheller than other surrounding rural municipalities and both were experiencing similar planning and development issues due to their locations within the Red Deer River valley.[10] The amalgamated municipality opted for town status rather than city status so that highways within would remain the responsibility of the Province of Alberta.[11] As a result of the amalgamation, Drumheller became Alberta's largest town in terms of land area at {{convert|107.93|km2|sqmi}}.[15]

The 1998 amalgamation resulted in Drumheller absorbing six hamlets that were previously under the jurisdiction of the MD of Badlands No. 7 – Cambria, East Coulee, Lehigh, Nacmine, Rosedale and Wayne.[10] Drumheller also previously absorbed the hamlets of Bankview, Midlandvale (Midland), Newcastle and North Drumheller during annexations while under city status.[10] Bankview and Midland were annexed in 1964 and 1972 respectively, while Newcastle and North Drumheller were both annexed in 1967.[10] Other localities within Drumheller, either absorbed through past annexations or its eventual amalgamation with the MD of Badlands No. 7, include Aerial, Eladesor, Kneehill, Rosedale Station, Western Monarch (Atlas)[12] and Willow Creek.[13]

In total, Drumheller has absorbed at least 13 other communities in its history, some of which are now recognized as neighbourhoods or districts within the town.[14]

Demographics

In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Drumheller recorded a population of 7,982 living in 3,164 of its 3,471 total private dwellings, a {{percentage|{{#expr:7982-8029}}|8029|1}} change from its 2011 population of 8,029. With a land area of {{convert|108.03|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|7982|108.03|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2016.[15]

In the 2011 Census, the Town of Drumheller had a population of 8,029 living in 3,182 of its 3,418 total dwellings, a 1.2% change from its 2006 population of 7,932. With a land area of {{convert|107.93|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|8029|107.93|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2011.[16]
