Roughly 137 kilometres east of Edmonton, where Highway 45 and Highway 36 meet, sits the town of Two Hills in central Alberta. The town takes its name from two natural hills located in the surrounding area, and its post office has served the community since 1914. Agriculture forms the backbone of the local economy, reflecting the broader character of the region.
According to the 2021 Census conducted by Statistics Canada, Two Hills had a population of 1,416 residents living in 445 of its 527 private dwellings. That figure represented a growth of approximately 4.7% from the 2016 count of 1,352. The town covers a land area of 3.11 square kilometres, giving it a population density of about 455 people per square kilometre. A 2017 municipal census had recorded a slightly higher count of 1,443 residents, up marginally from 1,431 in the 2012 municipal census. Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk, who served as MLA for the electoral district of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville in the 30th Alberta Legislature, is among the notable individuals connected to Two Hills.
