"Town
with The Tower"
Berwyn is nestled within the Peace River Region of northwestern Alberta. Situated on Highway # 2, the Village of Berwyn is only 37 km. from the Town of Peace River. Berwyn is a quiet bedroom community with a population of 546 (2001 census). It is a picturesque community that attracts young and old. Because of the long summer days and good soil, the rural community has been able to maintain a steady population. Other resource related industries that are important to the region include forestry and the oil and gas industries. |
 Population: 581 (Census 2001)

In 1936, Berwyn was incorporated as a village. Berwyn was one of the last communities in Alberta with a wooden water tower. The tower was a local landmark until it was taken down in 1982.
