Alberta was established as a district of the North-West Territories in 1882. It grew to its present boundaries when it became a province of Canada in 1905. Before that, responsible government developed gradually in the region, beginning in 1875 and leading to a fully responsible elected legislative assembly in 1897. When Alberta became a province, however, the federal government continued to control Crown lands and natural resources until 1930.
