Are you in search of homes for sale or other real estate opportunities in Spruce Grove? Here’s what you need to know.

About Spruce Grove

Spruce Grove is a mid-sized city located 11 kilometres west of Edmonton. First established by French and Scottish families in the late 1800s, the area was comprised of small businesses and farmers – consisting only of a Roman Catholic Church, general store, livery stables, hotel and blacksmith shop. Founders of this budding new settlement opted for the name “Spruce Grove” due to the many groves of spruce trees scattered throughout.

By 1908, the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway had established a train station in Spruce Grove, bringing further trade and industry to the area. The settlement was incorporated as a village in 1955, a town in 1971 and finally, Alberta’s 16th city in 1986. Steeped in a vibrant history, Spruce Grove is now home to over 35,000 residents and features a dynamic mix of industry, commerce and community that make it a fantastic place to work, live and play.
