Hamlets in the province of Alberta, Canada, are unincorporated communities with more than five dwellings.
They are designated as hamlets by the council of a municipal district or county when a community has a generally accepted name and boundary.[1] Hamlets can contain non-residential areas within their boundaries, and are administered by the municipal districts. When population reaches 300, hamlets can be incorporated as villages.
