It is located on Highway 38, approximately {{convert|52|km|mi|abbr=on}} north of Edmonton. Its population was 1,915 in the 2011 census,[5] while the town's municipal census conducted in 2012 counted a population of 2,116.[6] Redwater is located within the federal riding of Westlock—St. Paul and the provincial riding of Athabasca-Redwater. HistoryIn the early 1900s, the area where Redwater stands was settled first by Ukrainian settlers, and followed by English and French settlers.[3] The name Redwater is a reference to the nearby Redwater River,[3] an ochre-coloured tributary that drains into the North Saskatchewan River. The survey of the Redwater area was registered on September 7, 1906.[3] The original post office, established in 1907 at a location to the east of present-day Redwater, was moved in 1919 to the current town site when Redwater was established as a hamlet.[3] On December 31, 1949 it was incorporated as a village, becoming a town a year later on December 31, 1950.[4][5] Originally, Redwater was primarily a farming community.[3] The 1948 discovery of oil in the area transformed the hamlet of about 160 people[3] into a town of 1,306 by 1951.[6] Geography{{unreferenced section|date=September 2011}}Redwater is surrounded by wide, flat expanses of some of the best farming soil in Alberta. Some of the major geographical features in the area are the Sturgeon River which travels roughly east-south-east about {{convert|15|km|mi}} south of the town and flows into the North Saskatchewan River. To the east and south-east, there are vast areas of sandy soil known locally as sand hills, some of which support a thriving silica sand and gravel industry. These differing zones support two major types of forest; coniferous, including Jack Pine, Scots Pine, White Spruce, Black Spruce, and some Balsam Fir; broadleaf trees including Birch, Poplar and Aspen. DemographicsIn the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Redwater recorded a population of 2,053 living in 862 of its 946 total private dwellings, a {{percentage|{{#expr:2053-1915}}|1915|1}} change from its 2011 population of 1,915. With a land area of {{convert|20.03|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|2053|20.03|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2016.[7] The Town of Redwater's 2012 municipal census counted a population of 2,116.[8] The census also counted 921 total dwellings within the town, 77 more than the 844 counted by Statistics Canada in 2011.[8] In the 2011 Census, the Town of Redwater had a population of 1,915 living in 776 of its 844 total dwellings, a -13% change from its 2006 adjusted population of 2,202. With a land area of {{convert|20.12|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{Pop density|1915|20.12|km2|sqmi|prec=1}} in 2011.[9] At 844, the total amount of dwellings counted by Statistics Canada in 2011 was reportedly 54 less than the 898 it counted in 2006.[9][10] Economy{{unreferenced section|date=September 2011}}In addition to the farming industry that surrounds the town, numerous large industrial operations are located in the nearby Alberta's Industrial Heartland to the south. The largest industrial operation being the North West Redwater Partnership which has an estimated economic value to Alberta of 90 billion over 30 years.[11] Other notable operations include a fertilizer plant Agrium Inc, a chemical production plant Evonik Industries , a petrochemical plant Pembina,[12] a pipeline storage and shipping facility Access Pipeline INC[13] and the Shell Scotford upgrader and refinery. These industries have spawned an array of offshoot businesses such as shipping, oilfield services, heavy equipment and other support services. AttractionsRedwater boasts many attractions for a community of its size such as: A nine-hole golf course with grass greens is located within Redwater,[14] a multi use recreational facility Pembina place,[15] an outdoor swimming pool,[14] the sand hills natural area which is home to some of the best ATV trails in central Alberta,[16] a public library,[14] and the worlds largest oil derrick.[14] InfrastructureHealth careThe town is home to the Redwater Health Centre.
