Which of all of these communities and settlements correspond to which "Special Area" specifically? Johnluisocasio 17:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
This article discusses both the governing board of the Special Areas of Alberta, and the areas as a district. I propose that an explanation of the governing board remain at "Special Areas Board", and a new article be created at "Special Areas, Alberta" that discusses the area like a municipal district article does. 117Avenue ( talk) 00:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Done I have spilt off the three districts, but I think that an explanation of the Special areas of Alberta should be included on this page. You may need to fix things if my understanding of it isn't correct. 117Avenue ( talk) 23:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Per the new discussion below, I would like to re-engage discussion on this article is named and structured.

I removed the paragraph:
A review of historical federal census data has shown that Alberta has never had a fourth special area in its history that went under the official name of Special Area No. 1. As such, it is unclear as to why the province numbered its three special areas as 2 through 4 instead of 1 through 3, in 1938.
Although it may be true that the name "Special Area No. 1" was never in widespread use, this paragraph is misleading. There were in fact originally six Special Areas, and it appears that they were soon consolidated into four: Tilly East Special Area; Berry Creek-Sullivan Lake Special Area; Sounding Creek-Neutral Hills Special Area; and Bow West Special Area
I do not know how these four Special areas became only three that are named Special Areas No. 2-4, but it seems reasonable that at some point there was a Special Area No. 1.

I've done a bit more research on the history. I still haven't figured out when Tilley East and Bow West were removed from the Special Areas. They are listed in the revised statutes for 1955, but not included in the amendment for 1959. Also, the 1969 amendment that created Special Area No. 4 stated that this new Special Area was created from the lands that had been previously withdrawn from Special Area No. 3, and were not currently part of any municipality. I don't know when these lands were withdrawn, they were still part of Special Area No. 3 in 1959. Millifolium ( talk) 19:46, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
