In 1966, it was recreated from parts of Acadia and Battle River—Camrose ridings. It was abolished again in 1976 when it was redistributed into Crowfoot, Red Deer, Vegreville and Wetaskiwin ridings.
The riding has existed several times:
from 1914 – 1952
from 1966 – 1976
from 2004 – 2005
In 2004, Westlock—St. Paul riding was renamed "Battle River", but the name was changed back to "Westlock—St. Paul" before an election was held.
The Battle River flows for 570 kilometres (350mi) and has a total drainage area of 30,300 square kilometres (11,700sqmi). The mean discharge is 10m³/s at its mouth.
History
The river did not gain its current name until relatively recently. When Anthony Henday passed through the region in the 1750s, he did not mention a river with this name. But by 1793 Peter Fidler mentions arriving at the "Battle or Fighting River", likely so named because of the beginning of a period of rivalry between the Iron Confederacy (Cree and Assiniboine) and the Blackfoot Confederacy.
Course
The Battle River originates south from Battle Lake in central Alberta, east of Winfield and meanders east into Saskatchewan, where it discharges in the North Saskatchewan River at Battleford. It is debated whether or not the river before if flows into Battle Lake is considered part of the Battle River.
The Battle River is a 2.7-mile-long (4.3km) tributary of Red Lake in Minnesota, the United States. It is formed by the junction of its North and South branches. The North Branch flows east to west for 13.7 miles (22.0km) entirely in Beltrami County, and the South Branch flows 40.1 miles (64.5km), starting at the outlet of Bartlett Lake in Koochiching County and flowing west-northwest into Beltrami County.
The name of Battle River commemorates a battle between the Ojibways and the Sioux.
