Town of Spirit River

Town of Spirit River Located 80 kms north of Grande Prairie, Spirit River is one of the oldest towns in the Central Peace Region. Spirit River later became a town in 1951.

Located 80 km north of Grande Prairie, this vibrant northern town offers everything you need, including schools, a hospital, an arena, a curling rink, an outdoor pool, and various indoor activities. The Old Spirit River Settlement was located about 3 miles southeast of the old Mission. In 1888, the Hudson Bay Company began a cattle ranch four kilometers to the southeast on the banks of the Spirit River to serve traders at Fort Dunvegan. In 1891, a trading post became the original settlement along the banks of the Spirit River. Because the railroad missed this location, those early settlers decided to move and it split into two communities, one to the west( Now Spirit River), and one to the east (Now Rycroft). The present location of Spirit River was surveyed in 1915, and in 1916 it was incorporated as a village, the same year the railroad arrived.
