Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo
The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo ranks, by area, among the largest municipalities in North America. It was established April 1, 1995, through amalgamation of the City of Fort McMurray and Improvement District No. 143.

While the perception may be that Fort McMurray was born overnight during the 1960s oil sands development, history shows that the community has been surging for more than 100 years, since its inception as a Hudson's Bay Company post in 1870. Today Fort McMurray is one of Canada's youngest, fastest growing and most dynamic places-a close-knit community with an abundance of natural beauty as well as energy.

Fort McMurray is a young community. The average age is 30; less than 2,000 residents are over 60 years of age. More than half of the population, which includes a large representation of former Newfoundland residents, is connected to the oil industry. Not surprisingly, there are 10 per cent more men than women in Fort McMurray.

Entrepreneurs will find a welcome economy in the municipality. The present and future oil sands projects rely on local contractors to provide valuable skills and support. A healthy forestry industry lies within the boreal forest-with stands of spruce, pine and fir being harvested.
