The origin of our community is not unique. We began as a post office on the Canadian Pacific Railway Line at the turn of the last century. Fur traders passing through became farmers who stayed, persuaded by the promise of land, freedom, and economic opportunity. We will continue to build on our 100 year history of great social interaction and mutual respect with our Saddle Lake Cree Nation neighbours so we may grow closer, and more successful, together. Officially, Two Hills acquired its name in 1913, but for over 200 years, fur traders and farmers alike knew they were home when the saw the ‘les deux grosse buttes’ – the two hills.

Immigration is always how we have grown. Newcomers recognize the opportunities our region and our community present. Whether from central and eastern Europe or from Mexico, jobs in food production and in manufacturing have attracted those seeking new opportunities and new freedom. However, people also are drawn to our region because they recognize the quality of life they can experience in our community. A neighbourhood feel with quality educational supports, great healthcare, economic opportunity, and freedom to be themselves and celebrate their culture is what appeals to those who come looking for a new home.

We recognize we have strengths today that are the envy of other communities. We have a hard working population with excellent trade skills, quality services and amenities families want, abundant natural resources with access to important trade corridors, and a culture of perseverance and innovation. Mixing those ingredients together will attract families, businesses, and industry that will secure a prosperous future for Two Hills. Seeing those two hills meant you were home to fur traders 200 years ago, and to farmers moving grain 100 years ago. Forever, Two Hills will mean to residents and newcomers alike that you have arrived - home.
