Before 1870 the Hudson s Bay Company owned most of the land west of Ontario, and was known as Rupert s Land. The Battle River that flows through the county is named after a long time war over hunting in the area between the Cree and Blackfoot that inhabited this area prior to The first documented settlement was a mission along the south side of the Battle River established by Father Beillevaire, which he named Duhamel, after Archbishop Duhamel of Ottawa. Families were settling this area as early as 1870 to supply Fort Edmonton with buffalo meat and beaver pelts among other supplies. As the railroad made its way through the Camrose County area homesteads began to appear, which then grew into the farms and villages of Camrose County.
