Geocache Description:

An American History Roadside Turnout MICRO!

My second in a long series of Roadside Turnouts about Alberta History.

Read the sign, you will learn about the naming of Grande Prairie.

European fur traders entered the Peace River Country as early as 1770 and in 1881, Grande Prairie began as a Hudson's Bay Company trading post. The city was so named because in the late 19th Century, Father Grouard, a French-Canadian Roman Catholic missionary, was said to have described the rolling plains and the large open prairies of the aspen parkland as "la grande prairie".

Happy Hunting!
