About Camrose Branch
Camrose is a city with over 18,000 residents, 100 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, in central Alberta.
It had its beginnings as a village in 1905 and as a railroad hub, with railways that connected to Edmonton and Calgary, as well as to smaller communities in central Alberta, such as Wetaskiwin, Stettler, Drumheller and Vegreville. Twelve passenger trains came through Camrose daily by 1914. In 1955, it became a city.
Colloquially, it’s known as the "Rose City” because large numbers of wild roses grow in the surrounding parklands. The Camrose Rose was introduced to the city in 1995 by a local grower, who developed it to withstand Alberta’s climate.
Camrose is a major regional center served by five highways and two railways. It has a hospital with full emergency services and surgical capabilities, a campus of the University of Alberta, various manufacturing facilities, and it is a regional shopping destination.
The city is home to thriving agri-businesses and it has a manufacturing sector that supports the regional and provincial oil and gas exploration and development sector.
