Sherwood Park History

Sherwood Park was established in the early 1950s as a community to house oil workers of the Refinery Row industrial area.

Later, Sherwood Park was established on a section of farmland by 1954. On January 1, 1996, Strathcona County was designated as a specialized municipality by the Province of Alberta, allowing it to receive both grants and provincial benefits. Sherwood Park borders Edmonton to the east and its boundaries are defined by Wye Road to the south, Yellowhead Highway to the north, Highway 21 to the east and Anthony Henday Drive to the west.
