About Leduc
Robert Telford, a former NWMP officer, settled here in 1891. The name honours Father Hippolyte Leduc. Leduc became a village in 1899, a town in 1906 and a city on September 1, 1983.
The Leduc No. 1 well struck oil near the town on February 13, 1947. Oil and gas is still a big part of the local economy, and the Leduc Business Park has more than 1,400 businesses.
Leduc grew from 29,993 people in 2016 to 34,094 in 2021 (federal census), and the City now says about 40,000 people live here.
