History
As the early traders in the late 1800’s traveled their way to Lake Athabasca and Athabasca Landing to trade their goods they followed an old Indian trail to guide their way. This trail was known as the Athabasca Landing Trail. As it became more frequently used, stopping places started to develop. These places were built by enterprising pioneers who knew a good opportunity when they saw one. More importantly to Clyde, one of these early entrepreneurs was Mr. George D. Clyde whose small store grew as did the area. Hence today…the trading area of Clyde.
