History of Fort Saskatchewan

In 1875, under the command of Inspector W.D. Jarvis and the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) established Fort Saskatchewan as a fort on the North Saskatchewan River. The community was incorporated as a village in 1899, a town in 1904, and a city in 1985.

The Canadian Northern Railway reached Fort Saskatchewan in 1905, placing the town on a transcontinental rail line. The first bridge across the river was also built at this time, with the rail company paying for it in exchange for free land for its station in Fort Saskatchewan. Prior to the bridge and the only method to cross the river at Fort Saskatchewan was via ferry. In the decade after the railway arrived and the town's population nearly doubled to 993.

A new C$200,000 provincial jail opened in 1915 at the end of what is now 100th Avenue to replace the 34-cell guard house that had been used to hold prisoners since the NWMP fort was constructed in 1875. There were various additions to the jail throughout the next 70 years, including the construction of more cell blocks and a stand-alone power plant. By 1973 and the jail employed 220 residents and housed both male and female offenders. The jail was replaced in 1988 when a new provincial correctional centre was built south of Highway 15 on 101st Street. The original jail cell blocks were demolished in 1994.

In 1952, Sherritt Gordon Mines started construction on a C$25-million nickel refinery in Fort Saskatchewan, which started production in 1954.
