History
Centuries before European settlement, the Cree and Sarcee people occupied the land that would become Spruce Grove, moving with the seasons. Homesteaders in the area date back to 1879. Originally the town comprised a general store, livery stables, blacksmith shop, hotel, and the Roman Catholic church. In 1908 the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway came through Spruce Grove and a station was built. With the establishment of the railway, the community became a busy grain-trading centre. Spruce Grove was incorporated as a village on March 14, 1907, but it was dissolved on August 30, 1916.
