=History of Alberta =

**The first settlers settled a long time ago. Early settlers were ranchers from England and the United States. Alberta was officially a province on September 1, 1905. Alberta got a better population when the first railroad was built in 1883. The First Nations traded furs and received guns, blankets, and metal goods. Immigrants came from Ukraine, Germany, Romania, and many parts of Europe to farm.**
