Understanding Hamlets in Alberta

A hamlet is a very small settlement or village. In Alberta, hamlets are usually unincorporated. This means they do not have their own local government. Instead, they are governed by a larger municipal district or county. For Fleet, this is the County of Paintearth No. 18.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community does not have its own town council. Decisions for the community are made by the council of the larger area it belongs to. This helps manage resources and services for smaller places like Fleet.
