Sherwood Park summary
Sherwood Park is a hamlet located east of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in the Specialized Municipality of Strathcona County. Sherwood Park was first established
in 1954/55 on Smeltzer farmland, east of Edmonton. With a population in 2005 of 55,063, Sherwood Park has enough people to be Alberta's seventh largest city and,
although Sherwood Park technically retains the status of a hamlet, the Government of Alberta recognizes the Sherwood Park Urban Service area as equivalent to a city.
Its population as of the 2001 census was 47,645 and its land area is 70.98 kmē (27.4 sq mi). With this information, Sherwood Park remains the largest hamlet in the
world. Along with St. Albert, Sherwood Park is one of Edmonton's two principal suburbs. It is largely a bedroom community, with the bulk of its workers commuting to
Edmonton each workday. REMAX MLS real estate

In the early 1950s, developers John Hook Campbell and John Mitchell envisioned a satellite town of 100 houses to accommodate employees of the industries east of
Edmonton. In 1953, they received approval from the Municipal District of Strathcona for the development of the residential hamlet named "Campbelltown" and in
September 1955, the first model homes were opened to the public. Later in 1956, the name of the hamlet was changed to Sherwood Park – Canada Post would not approve
Campbelltown, since there were several Canadian communities with similar names.
