History
Leduc was first established in 1899, when Robert Telford, a
settler, bought land near a lake which would later bear his name.
It was on that piece of land where the new settlement would take root.
Telford
previously served as an officer for the Royal North West Mounted Police,
and later became Leduc's first postmaster, first general merchantman and
first justice of the peace.
The town continued to grow quietly over the decades and Alberta's
historical oil strike on February 13, 1947, was made near the town at
the Leduc No. 1 oil well.[3]
Leduc was first incorporated as a village in 1899, and went on to become
officially a town in 1906. Leduc became a city in 1983.
Leduc has over 33 km of inter-connected paved paths that connect to the
many parks in the city. Most of the paths are cleared of snow in
the winter allowing year round access.
The weather in Leduc ranges from mid to high +30c in
the summer to -30c in the winter. In summer Leduc enjoys long summer
days.
