About Cypress County

Room to grow.
Space to thrive.

Around 7,800 people call Cypress County home, spread across one of Alberta's largest rural municipalities. This vast region wraps around Medicine Hat and Redcliff, encompassing nine hamlets and offering everything from farms and acreages to residential subdivisions with space to breathe.

Alongside a strong oil and gas section, the county's economy thrives on agriculture, including ranching, wheat, oilseed crops, and irrigated specialty crops. With some of the province's lowest tax rates and affordable land, it's an ideal place for businesses and families looking for value without sacrificing opportunity.

As the highest point between Ontario and the Rockies, Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park sits as the crown jewel here, offering camping, hiking, skiing, and lake activities. The region enjoys a sunny environment with warm summers and the occasional mild chinook winds that tempers the winter. Whether you're raising a family on an acreage or running a business, Cypress County delivers that authentic prairie lifestyle with all the perks of being close to the city.
