Area Overview
Redcliff dervies its name form teh red shale cliffs overlookign the South Saskatchewan River. It has a rich history which began in teh 1880s with teh discovery of abundanct coal and natural gas reserves. Easy access to this inexpensive resource led to Redcliff being promoted as the "Smokeless Pittsburgh of the West." This drew industries that produced such diverse products as shoes, gloves, cigars, trucks, bricks, glass, flour and more. A cyclone that ravaged several of these businesses started the decline, and the war and a flu epidemic ended the prosperity. Following World War II, the community again experienced steady growth. Redcliff remains progressive and currently boasts a population of almost 5,000.
The Town of Redcliff is known as the "Greenhouse Capital of the Prairies." This is because long hours of sunlight, inexpensive natural gas and proximity to the TransCanada Highway (Highway #1) all contributed to the establishment and success of the largest concentrations of commercial greenhouses in Western Canada. There are over 50 acres under glass or plastic. Cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers are grown in abundance. The major industries in the area service the petrochemical industry and horticulture production.
Redcliff has an industrial park containing over 50 acres of serviced sites, with expansion land available. There is also approximately 12 acres of commercial sites available in various locations, and approximately 20 acres of horticultural sites available. With the active market in Redcliff and region, these numbers are continuously changing.
The Town of Redcliff develops and promotes residential building sites, with only eight lots remaining in the second phase of a golf course development (Riverview). The new "Westside" development, which is a joint effort between the Town and a private developer, is expected to be available summer 2004, creating approximately 100 lots, with many coulee view lots.
Redcliff is a smaller, safe community in which to raise a family in affordable housing, and still be close to business opportunities.
