Distribution of Alberta's 403 hamlets as of 2023 by latest population available Hamlets in the Canadian province of Alberta are unincorporated communities administered by, and within the boundaries of, specialized municipalities or rural municipalities (municipal districts , improvement districts and special areas ). They consist of five or more dwellings (a majority of which are on parcels of land that are smaller than 1,850 m2 ), have a generally accepted boundary and name, and contain parcels of land used for non-residential purposes.[1] [2]
Section 59 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA) enables specialized municipalities and municipal districts to designate a hamlet, while Section 590 of the MGA enables the Minister of Alberta Municipal Affairs to designate a hamlet within an improvement district.[1] [3]
A hamlet can be incorporated as a village when its population reaches 300. However, Alberta has not had a hamlet incorporate as a village since January 1, 1980, when both Barnwell and Wabamun incorporated as villages.[4] [5]
As of 2024, Alberta has 433 hamlets recognized by Alberta Municipal Affairs,[6] [7] Sherwood Park within Strathcona County and Fort McMurray (formerly a city) within the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo – have been further designated as urban service areas by Municipal Affairs. If they were to incorporate as cities, Sherwood Park and Fort McMurray would rank sixth and seventh respectively among Alberta's largest cities by population. Lac La Biche (formerly a town) within Lac La Biche County is a third hamlet also designated as an urban service area.[6]
