Leduc: Then & Now - Vol 3 Downtown

For Leduc’s first sixty years it was a sleepy rural community that began as a hamlet of 5 people serving the homesteaders and then grew slowly to 920 by 1946. In 1947 Leduc #1 brought forth a new era of growth and rapid change descended on Leduc. By 1951 the population had doubled and that sleepy community with gravel streets began to transform into the city of today. The early years of the 21st Century Leduc remains as one of the fastest growing communities in Alberta. This book explores the first businesses and their owners as Leduc went from a hamlet to a town, and then looks at the downtown business that currently serves the community in the 2020’s.
