Historical Factors
Calgary was inhabited by pre-Clovis people for 11,000 years. The pre-Clovis hunted buffalos for their fur and meat for the
Hudson Bay company. The city was named “Fort Calgary” by James Macleod in 1876 Between the year of 1896 and 1914 settlers from all over the
world poured into the area in response to the offer of free’ homestead” land.
The world Famous Calgary Stampede, is still held in July. This event grew from a small agriculture show and rodeo. This event started in 1912 by four wealthy ranchers to make the ‘ greatest outdoor show on earth”.
Historical Factors
Oil in Alberta was found in 1902, but it was not becoming a significant industry in Calgary until 1947 when huge amount of oil was discovered.
Calgary quickly found itself at the centre of the ensuing oil boom. The city's economy grew when oil prices increased with the Arab Oil Embargo in 1973.
The population increased by 272,000 in the eighteen years between 1971 (403,000) and 1989 (675,000) and another 345,000 in the next eighteen years (to 1,020,000 in 2007).
