The province of Alberta, named after a daughter of Queen Victoria, was established in 1905. It is located in western Canada. Alberta is bordered by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and Montana’s US state to the south.
It is the sixth-largest province in Canada in total land area and the 4th most populous province in Canada. This province is famous for sunshine, mountains, open spaces, forests, and fresh air. It includes parts of the Canadian Rockies and is known for its oil, natural gas, and cattle farming.
