2. INTRODUCTION
Rocky Mountain House 2020 Community Profile
Rocky Mountain House is a town in west-central Alberta, Canada located west of the City of Red Deer at the confluence of the Rocky Mountain House and North Saskatchewan Rivers, and at the crossroads of Highway 22 (Cowboy Trail) and Highway 11 (David Thompson Highway).
The town has a long history dating to the 18th century with the presence of British and Canadian fur traders during the westward Canadian expansion. In 1799, the Hudson's Bay Company and the North West Company each established the Rocky Mountain House and Acton House fur trading posts. Trade with the local Indigenous peoples continued until 1821 when the companies merged, they continued to trade until 1875 and closed the Rocky Mountain House post. The name of the settlement however remained. The Rocky Mountain House settlement also served as a launching point for many explorers such as David Thompson, in search for a passage west to the Pacific Ocean. Many travelers used this location as a stop on their way further west or northwest, just as they do into the 21st century.
