Stony Plain offers a lifestyle with something for everyone. Located just 17 kilometres west of Edmonton, Stony Plain enjoys all the advantages of a major centre while developing and maintaining its own unique character.
The Town has a pride in its history which began in 1881 when the first homestead in the area was documented. In 1892 the area was known as Dog Rump Creek until a post office was named for the region and it became Stony Plain. In 1907, Stony Plain's first Sheriff, Israel Umbach, made national headlines when he chained a locomotive to the railway tracks for non-payment of taxes and changed the course of history. In 1908 Stony Plain was officially incorporated as a town.
Stony Plain's history is kept alive through its murals program, numerous historic sites, and the Multicultural Heritage Centre.
