Drumheller is a town (formerly a city) on the Red Deer River in the Badlands of east-central Alberta, Canada. It is located 110 kilometres (68 mi) northeast of Calgary.
During the peak of the coal era (1930s) Drumheller's population exploded to more than 30,000 and it became a city in 1930. Drumheller was Western Canada's largest coal producer; now it contributes to a vibrant energy sector and can boast Alberta's second largest natural gas deposit, the West Drumheller Field. To benefit from Provincial and Federal grants the city dropped its city charter and once again became a town in 1997, when it was ammalgamated with the Municipal District of Badlands. At 111 square kilometres (43 sq mi), Drumheller is the largest town in Alberta in area and since the 1997 amalgamation with Badlands the town also includes the formerly separate towns of Nacmine, Wayne, Rosedale, and Midlandvale, although the official provincial road map only began recognizing this fact with its 2006 edition. The valley ranges from 2 kilometres (1 mi) across to 28 kilometres (17 mi) in length.
Drumheller has been the filming location for more than 50 commercials, music videos and cinematic productions including Shanghai Noon, Unforgiven, Knockaround Guys and Rat Race.
