Lacombe

Town in south-central Alberta, Canada, 122 km/76 mi south of Edmonton and 23 km/14 mi north of Red Deer; population (1996 est) 8,000. Situated in an agricultural region, it processes dairy products and has grain elevators and flour, grist, and lumber mills. It is also a summer resort, with a number of lakes and provincial parks nearby.

Settlement began in the early 1880s, and increased with the arrival of the railway in the 1890s. A government experimental farm has been here since 1908. Features include Michenor House (1895), residence of Canadian governor general Roland Michenor 1967–74, and the Blacksmith Museum (1904). Of the historical buildings on Main Street, 25 have been restored.
