Propitiously located at the confluence of the Clearwater and North Saskatchewan Rivers, Rocky Mountain House is a town with a venerable name and matching history. In the 1700s, fur traders named it and used it as a post for the prosperous trade with native tribes from the Kootenay and Blackfoot nations. The fur trade era ended in about 1875 but the next wave of activity to hit Rocky Mountain House came with the explorers. David Thompson used the post as a base for his surveying and exploring activities. The David Thompson Highway (#11) is a lasting reminder of his work.
The last wave involved settlers in search of farmland and wishing to gain a living from the many natural resources of the area. The town of Rocky Mountain House was established in 1912, and most of its residents were Scandinavian. The local economy is linked to petroleum transportation, oil and gas production, forestry, tourism and agriculture. The town crest brings these features together with its image of an oil derrick and lodgepole pines framing mountains. This image is also used in the Rocky Mountain House municipal flag.
