High River is a town in southwestern Alberta, Canada. It is 37 kilometres (23 mi) south of the city of Calgary, at the junction of Alberta Highways 2 and 23. Although reasonably distant from Calgary, the town is nonetheless considered to be part of the Calgary Region. The community gets its name from the Highwood River, which flows through the town, and often floods in the spring.
The town is best known for being the birthplace of former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark. Other well-known former citizens include W.O. Mitchell, author of such books as Who Has Seen the Wind and Roses Are Difficult Here, and NHL and WHA hockey player John “Pie” McKenzie.
High River was used as a set for Smallville in Superman III, as well as High River, Montana in Nickelodeon’s series Caitlin’s Way. Recently, Heartland, a CBC television series has found High River its main filming spot. Also, the movie Carolina Moon based on the book by Nora Roberts was filmed in High River.
