Nordegg is a hamlet located in west-central Alberta, Canada, situated in Clearwater County along the David Thompson Highway. Originally established as a coal mining town in 1911, the community played a significant role in Alberta's early industrial development. The town was named after Martin Nordegg, the German-born entrepreneur who founded the mining operation.
The Brazeau Collieries mine was the economic heart of Nordegg until its closure in 1955, after which the town's population significantly declined. Today, Nordegg serves as a gateway to the Canadian Rockies and is known for its mining heritage, which is preserved and displayed at the Nordegg National Historic Site. The former mining site, with its remaining structures and machinery, provides visitors with insights into early 20th-century Canadian industrial history.
The area surrounding Nordegg offers opportunities to explore the natural heritage of the region, with its proximity to the Rocky Mountains, numerous hiking trails, and outdoor recreational facilities.
