History
Brazeau County encompasses an area that was originally under the jurisdiction of three neighbouring municipalities.[3] In the mid-1980s, residents of the southwest portion of Parkland County and the west portion of Leduc County were growing weary of perceived poor service provision as a result of being located significant distances from their municipal headquarters in Stony Plain and Leduc respectively.[3] After much lobbying and petitions over approximately five years, lands were severed from Parkland County and Leduc County, as well as a small portion of Yellowhead County to the west,[3] to create Improvement District No. 222 on December 31, 1987, which incorporated as the Municipal District of Brazeau No. 77 six months later on July 1, 1988.[1] The municipality subsequently changed its name to Brazeau County on October 1, 2002.[1]
