Oyen

Few communities in Alberta have a history as closely tied to the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway as Oyen. Founded as a railway station in 1910, it became a service centre for the farming and ranching country of eastern Alberta. Oyen stands at the junction of Highways 9 and 41, amid the dry grassland plains where grain fields, cattle operations and wide horizons define the setting. The town is surrounded by Special Area No. 3, part of Alberta’s distinctive system of sparsely populated rural administrations. Find further points of interest through webcams across Alberta.
