About Vulcan

Vulcan is a town in the prairies of southern Alberta, Canada, inside Vulcan County. It is situated on Highway 23, halfway between the urban communities of Calgary and Lethbridge. The number of inhabitants in the town was 1,836 of every 2011. Presently known as the "Official Star Trek Capital of Canada", Vulcan has a Tourism building made to resemble a landed space station, a statue of the Original Series Enterprise, and other Star Trek themed attractions. Vulcan was named by a surveyor for the Canadian Pacific Railway after the Roman God of Fire – Vulcan.

Initially, every one of the roads of Vulcan were named after divine beings and goddesses of the established world, for example, Juno, Mars, and Jupiter. The people group was fused as a town on December 23, 1912 and afterward as a town on June 15, 1921. In July 1927, a noteworthy tornado wrecked numerous homes and the new twisting arena in the town. That tornado was made renowned when a photo of it moving toward Vulcan was utilized for the "tornado" article in Encyclopaedia Britannica.

Vulcan once had nine grain lifts, more than some other area west of Winnipeg, making it the biggest grain shipping point at that time. Due to the changing financial aspects of the agrarian business, the first lifts were brought down one by one. Today, Vulcan has just a single of the "prairie high rises" left that once could be seen miles away. In spite of the fact that not unique, this last wooden lift was worked in the 1980s.
