INTRODUCTION TO THE TOWN OF MILLET, ALBERTA, CANADA The Town of Millet is nestled on Highway 2A, 45kms south of Edmonton and 20kms south of the

Edmonton International Airport, right alongside the original Pacific Railway built in 1891. Traveling

south from Edmonton on Calgary Trail or from the Airport on the QE2 Hwy, take the Wetaskiwin exit

onto the 2A from the Leduc Overpass and join us for a visit.

Millet began with a single store owned by Ben Slaughter. The Town was named for August Millet, Ben

Slaughter’s fur supplier and canoe man for Father Lacombe, and reached Village status on July 17, 1903.

Many disasters including major fires in 1902, 1927, 1996, and 1997, although devastating, only

strengthened the community’s sense of comradeship, dedication, and pride in rebuilding.

On September 1, 1983 Millet was declared a Town. A general election was held with the change to Town

status; 6 Councilors and a Mayor were elected. Housing and acreage developments have since been on a

steady increase.

A picturesque community, Millet centers on a 65-acre park system with a combination of natural and

manicured area. Parks in this community are second to none in Alberta and the downtown is a matter of

pride for the community. This pride is evident throughout the community, private homes, businesses,

streets, churches, schools, library, and public facilities all contribute to providing a clean & safe

environment.

Millet continues to be active in educational and recreational programs throughout the year that are

supported by numerous groups and organizations. Leisure, sport, and cultural activities are available for

all age groups, from preschool to seniors.

Millet is a proud participant in the National Communities in Bloom Program since 1996 receiving

recognition across Canada for its beauty, charm, and friendly rural atmosphere. Through the dedication

of volunteerism and community endeavors, Millet blooms, even in the winter as participants in the Winter

Lights Program from 2004 - 2007.

HISTORY OF MILLET Written by Jean Scott

Millet officially became a village on June 17, 1903 under the authority of Section 3 of the Village

Ordinance of the North West Territories. W.F. Blades was appointed as Returning Officer to elect an

overseer. An election was held on June 29, 1903 and James Blades became Millet’s first overseer.

Millet received its name when Sir William Van Horne, president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, asked

his good friend, Father Lacombe, a Catholic missionary, to name all the stations from Lacombe north on

the new railway line which had come through the area in 1891. Father Lacombe gave what was to

become Millet its name. He called it Millet after his long time traveling companion and canoe man,

August Millet. August Millet was also a fur buyer and trader who did business with Millet’s first resident,

Ben Slaughter, a fur buyer as well.

In 1896 a post office was opened in Ben Slaughter’s store at Millet and it has operated continuously since

then at several other locations in Millet.

In the 50 or so years to follow, Millet’s population grew to approximately 400 people and for many years

was able to provide an adequate business centre for its residents and for those of the surrounding area.

However with the increase in the number of automobiles and upgraded highways, residents gradually

traveled to larger centers to shop and Millet remained at a standstill for a number of years.

In the 1970s the face of Millet changed with the advent of the development of the Moonen Heights

residential subdivision across from the Agriplex, the ball diamonds, and the soccer fields. Several

acreage subdivisions just east of Millet came into being at the time as well. Millet obtained Town status

in 1983 and doubled in size to 2000 people by 1993.

Today Millet’s population has risen to approximately 2,092 people.

Plans for further development of a new subdivision are currently underway to accommodate the projected

increase in the growth of the “Prettiest Little Town in Canada”, a title received in 2001 from

Communities in Bloom judges. Millet residents enjoy the benefits of the lifestyle found in a small country

town. As well they are able to access within 20-40 minutes any necessary services found only in a large

city.
