| Towns in Alberta are created when communities with populations of at least 1,000 people file for, and are granted, incorporation as a town with the provincial government.
As of November 2005, the Canadian province Alberta has 111 towns, with a cumulative population of 406,108.1 The average Albertan town has between 3,000 and 4,000 inhabitants. 740 elected town officials ensure town governance throughout the province. When a town's population exceeds 10,000 people, the council may request a change to city status, but the change in incorporation level is not mandatory.2 Communities with shrinking populations are allowed to retain town status even if the number of residents falls below the 1,000 limit.
