The highest municipality east of the Rocky Mountains, Swan Hills is nestled in the "Wilderness Playground." Noted for its breathtaking, picturesque surroundings, the numerous steams, rivers and lakes fulfill the dreams of fishermen of all ages, the plentiful moose, deer, bear and big game make it a hunter’s paradise.

The Town of Swan Hills was incorporated in 1967, approximately 10 years after oil deposits were first discovered in the region. The town site was intended to serve the surrounding industry activity and today continues to thrive in the predominantly resource-based economy.

Its unique setting on a hillside almost 4000 feet high, adds an extra feature to doing business in "the Hills".
