Fort McMurray is an urban service area in Wood Buffalo Regional Municipality (RM) in Alberta, Canada. It is located in northeastern Alberta, in the middle of the Athabasca oil sands, surrounded by boreal forest. It has played an important role in the development of the national oil industry. A severe forest fire in May 2016 prompted the evacuation of its residents and caused widespread damage.
Formerly a city, Fort McMurray became an urban service area when it merged with Improvement District No. 143 on April 1, 1995, to create Wood Buffalo Township (renamed RM of Wood Buffalo on August 14, 1996). Despite its current official urban service area designation, Fort McMurray is still referred to as a city by many locals, politicians, and the media. Fort McMurray was known simply as McMurray between 1947 and 1962. Guarantee yourself the best price in the market when you book your car rental in Alberta with Auto Europe today!
