Map to the districts of Alberta

The Canadian province of Alberta is divided into so-called municipal districts . These exist as administrative units alongside the (geographical) regions and are grouped into census divisions for statistical purposes . Many of the municipal districts have the term county in their names, although the county was abolished in Alberta in the 1990s.

In addition, there are three Specialized Municipalitys ( 1 ), three Special Areas ( 2 ) and seven Improvement Districts ( 3 ) in Alberta , which mainly comprise the areas of the national parks . These special administrative units are identified in the table with the number given in brackets.
