In the late 1800s Athabasca Landing was established at the elbow of
the Athabasca River where it sweeps south and reaches within one
hundred miles or 160 kilometeres of Edmonton. Between the years 1880
and 1914, Athabasca Landing, as the town of Athabasca was then called,
became known as the "Gateway to the North," a jumping off point for
travelers to the Peace River Country and for traders heading north on
the Athabasca River to the Arctic. Athabasca Landing gained the national stage by 1900 -
as the key transportation center linking the Hudson's Bay Company and
other independent traders to Canada’s northwest and the Arctic. The
Landing Trail, one of Alberta’s first highways, linked Fort Edmonton
and the young city of Edmonton to Athabasca Landing and the Athabasca
River.
