Flagstaff County’s economy is anchored by a strong and diversified agricultural sector, supported by some of the most productive farmland in east-central Alberta. Grain farming, cattle operations, and mixed agricultural enterprises form the foundation of local economic activity, with land use focused on long-term productivity, scale, and efficiency. Agriculture drives not only farm income, but also supports equipment dealers, ag-service businesses, transportation, and local employment throughout the region.
In addition to agriculture, Flagstaff County plays an outsized role in Alberta’s energy economy. The county is home to major pipeline corridors and petroleum storage and logistics infrastructure, particularly around the Hardisty area, which serves as a critical hub for crude oil transportation and storage. This energy presence contributes significantly to municipal tax revenue, helping stabilize the local tax base and support infrastructure, roads, and services while keeping residential and agricultural tax pressures comparatively moderate.
The combination of large-scale agriculture, energy infrastructure, and strong transportation access creates a resilient rural economy. Flagstaff County benefits from rail lines, highways, and proximity to regional markets, allowing producers and industrial operators to move goods efficiently. This economic stability, paired with relatively low population density and affordable land values, continues to make Flagstaff County attractive for farmers, energy operators, and land investors seeking dependable long-term returns in a well-established agricultural region.
Hardisty is a historic prairie town in east-central Alberta with roots that trace back to the early 1900s. The community developed in 1906 as a divisional point along the Canadian Pacific Railway and was incorporated as a town in 1911, serving early settlers drawn to the fertile lands of the Battle River Valley. Long before settlement, the area was used by Indigenous peoples as seasonal hunting and wintering grounds, particularly for buffalo.
Agriculture formed the foundation of Hardisty’s early economy, with grain farming and mixed operations shaping both the landscape and the community. Over time, the town evolved into an important regional service centre, while maintaining its strong rural identity. In the latter half of the 20th century, Hardisty gained national significance as a major energy hub, becoming home to one of Canada’s largest crude oil storage and pipeline terminal complexes.
Today, Hardisty blends its agricultural heritage with modern energy infrastructure, offering essential services to surrounding farmland while remaining closely tied to the land, the Battle River Valley, and the prairie traditions that defined its origins.
