The History of Agriculture in Alberta __ "How did agriculture become the
industry just described, in such a new land and in such a relatively short time?
The first white man to cultivate the soil in what is now Alberta was Peter Pond,
a fur trader who established an isolated post near Lake Athabasca. In 1779 he
was raising vegetables in his small garden. More than half a century later, in
1857, the explorer Captain John Palliser travelled the southern Prairies and
pronounced the land and climate unsuitable for agriculture. Soon after that,
settlers began to move into the area and Palliser's contention was disproved."
