| Edmonton began as a fur-trading post in the late 1700s, growing when used as an outfitting point for gold prospectors heading north to the Klondike during the late 1800s. Edmonton’s population boomed in the 1950s when large mineral and petroleum reserves were discovered and mined near the city. Today Edmonton is a major commercial and manufacturing center, and, as the provincial capital of Alberta, a location of government and administrative agencies. | ||||||
