The City of Red Deer is named after the Red Deer River, which runs through the city. Oddly, the "red deer" in question were actually elk and British fur traders mistook the elk for a European red deer. Red Deer became a city in 1913 based on the strength of agriculture and its history as a trading post.
One of the newer attractions of Red Deer is The Ghost Project. The ghost project was started by Red Deer Downtown Business Association in 1994. Bronze statues or "ghosts" created via the project must represent a significant person or event in Red Deer's history.
Sports fans should visit The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, which was established in 1957 to honour Alberta's contributions to the world of sports.
Red Deer is noted for its parks, including Jarvis Bay Provincial Park. Kerry Wood Nature Centre offers programs that help understand Central Alberta natural habitat.
Red Deer accommodations include chain hotels, independent motels, bed and breakfasts and campgrounds.
