Drinnan was once a small village in western Alberta, Canada. It officially became a village on January 1, 1957. But just three months later, on April 1, 1957, it joined with the nearby town of Hinton.
Today, this area is often called the Hardisty District. You can find it in a valley part of Hinton. It is north of the Canadian National Railway tracks and south of the Athabasca River. The area is about 5 kilometers (3 miles) east of where Hinton first started. The center of the old village was around Athabasca Avenue and Drinnan Way.
