By contrast the <a href="/wiki/Plains_Indians" title="Plains Indians">plains cultures</a> on the <a href="/wiki/Prairie" title="Prairie">prairie</a> to the south relied on the <a href="/wiki/American_bison" title="American bison">buffalo</a>. The predominant political force on the prairie during the fur trade, the <a href="/wiki/Blackfoot_Confederacy" title="Blackfoot Confederacy">Blackfoot Confederacy</a>, would not allow the <a href="/wiki/Hudson%27s_Bay_Company" title="Hudson's Bay Company">Hudson's Bay Company</a> to establish itself within Blackfoot territory, preferring to ride to Edmonton House (established 1795) to trade. Around this time some Cree and allied peoples (the <a href="/wiki/Iron_Confederacy" title="Iron Confederacy">Iron Confederacy</a>) pushed south onto the plains, and became rivals of the Blackfoot. By the 1810s, explorer <a href="/wiki/Peter_Fidler_(explorer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Peter Fidler (explorer)">Peter Fidler</a> identified the <a href="/wiki/Battle_River" title="Battle River">Battle River</a> as a disputed frontier between the two groups.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Locke asserts that the lack of an HBC presence in the south set the stage for very different patterns of settlement in the different regions. Calgary was founded as a <a href="/wiki/North-West_Mounted_Police" title="North-West Mounted Police">North-West Mounted Police</a> fort and was not much of a settlement at all until the mid-1880s when the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Pacific_Railway" title="Canadian Pacific Railway">Canadian Pacific Railway</a> (CPR) suddenly shifted its planned route across Western Canada from a northern one (via Edmonton) to a more southerly path (via Calgary).<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, the economic and cultural origins of Calgary and its region, were created up by the NWMP and the CPR, not the HBC. Because of the CPR line, Calgary's agricultural hinterland was settled much sooner, mostly by people of <a href="/wiki/British_people#Canada" title="British people">British</a>, and particularly <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Canadian" class="mw-redirect" title="Scottish Canadian">Scottish</a>, origins but it also has an <a href="/wiki/American_Canadian" class="mw-redirect" title="American Canadian">American influence</a> because of the ranching culture brought into the region by American <a href="/wiki/Cowboy" title="Cowboy">cowboys</a>. By contrast, Edmonton's hinterland is marked by a <a href="/wiki/Franco-Albertan" class="mw-redirect" title="Franco-Albertan">French Canadian</a> and <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A9tis_in_Alberta" title="Métis in Alberta">Métis</a> presence, and was predominantly occupied by people of non-British European origins. In particular, the region just to the east of Edmonton, <a href="/wiki/Kalyna_Country" title="Kalyna Country">Kalyna Country</a>, is Canada's oldest and largest area of <a href="/wiki/Ukrainian_Canadian" class="mw-redirect" title="Ukrainian Canadian">Ukrainian settlement</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-reviewcanada.ca_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-reviewcanada.ca-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Following the debate over the CPR, the next important contest between the two cities was to determine which would become Alberta's <a href="/wiki/Capital_city" title="Capital city">capital city</a> when the province was created in 1905. By this time, two new transcontinental railways had been built, both via Edmonton, under the guidance of a <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Canada" title="Liberal Party of Canada">federal Liberal</a> government that had replaced the <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_of_Canada_(1867%E2%80%931942)" title="Conservative Party of Canada (1867–1942)">Conservative</a> government which had overseen construction of the CPR. Equally important, the Liberals overhauled Canada's immigration system. Whereas the Conservatives had endeavoured to restrict Western settlement to British immigrants, the Liberals had encouraged immigration from other parts of Europe, such as the <a href="/wiki/Austria-Hungary" title="Austria-Hungary">Austro-Hungarian Empire</a>. The result was that Edmonton and northern Alberta became much more ethnically diverse than Calgary and southern Alberta, occurring at a time when prejudice against non-British ethnic groups (in particular, <a href="/wiki/Slavic_peoples" class="mw-redirect" title="Slavic peoples">Slavic peoples</a>) was commonplace among those of British extraction, adding yet another layer of ill will between north and south. </p><p>Thus by the turn of the century, the differing political leanings of Calgary and Edmonton that persist to this day (that is, Calgary being quite conservative by Canadian standards and Edmonton tending to be more progressive) were already well established. Not surprisingly then, when the federal Liberal government admitted Alberta to Confederation in 1905, they named Edmonton the capital. However, the Calgary elite were even more infuriated when Edmonton's neighbour, the then-separate city of <a href="/wiki/Strathcona,_Alberta" title="Strathcona, Alberta">Strathcona</a>, won the right to host the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Alberta" title="University of Alberta">University of Alberta</a> (see below). </p><p>The final important rivalry between the cities during Alberta's early years was over economic leadership, especially in the <a href="/wiki/Petroleum_production_in_Canada" class="mw-redirect" title="Petroleum production in Canada">Oil patch</a>. Calgary's nearby <a href="/wiki/Turner_Valley,_Alberta" class="mw-redirect" title="Turner Valley, Alberta">Turner Valley</a> deposits were discovered in 1914, decades before Edmonton's <a href="/wiki/Leduc_No._1" title="Leduc No. 1">Leduc #1</a> field in 1947. In part this accounts for the much larger concentration of head offices of large corporations in Calgary. Edmonton's business community contains more private corporations working in oil and gas, consulting and smaller operations. Edmonton is also the research and manufacturing centre of the Canadian petroleum industry, and roughly 80% of Canada's oil production is refined and sent to market through <a href="/wiki/Refinery_Row_(Edmonton)" title="Refinery Row (Edmonton)">Refinery Row</a>, located just east of the city in <a href="/wiki/Strathcona_County" title="Strathcona County">Strathcona County</a>. </p><p>Today, although the rivalry is generally expressed only during sporting events, there remains an 'unspoken' friendly rivalry between residents that remains on a subtle level. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Hosting_of_events">Hosting of events</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Battle_of_Alberta&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Hosting of events"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The rivalry also extends outside of team sports to international events.
