The first settlers of the west went through quite a few hardships when looking for a patch of land to call their own, most notably through the wild conditions found in the prairies and the lack of resources needed to keep up a settlement. Most of Alberta's first settlers came in the 1880's, but then went to British Columbia to settle in Dunmore when the conditions in Alberta were too harsh; however, since their new land was located in the middle of "Palliser's Triangle", a tract of land that people thought was no good for farming, many of these returned to Alberta later on. After a long trek full of hardship, initially in search of Edmonton, the settlers found an area of level land and established a community in it, which would later be called Spruce Grove.From "As The Roots Grow: the history of Spruce Grove and district":
