High River is a people-first community with opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors year round.

Our population of over 14,000 residents thrives on innovation, creativity and appreciating all that life has to offer. See the labour force data below for more information on the healthy makeup of the High River community.

High River falls within an area that is the traditional home of the Blackfoot people and has historically been used by both the Stoney and Blackfoot tribes. High River acknowledges the contributions and legacy of Indigenous people both historically and today. For more on our history, visit the Western Heritage, Settlement and Growth section.
