There were no provinces that existed before Alberta. There was a large territory that covered what is now Alberta and Saskatchewan and part of Manitoba called Rupert's Land from the time of the incorporation of a national fur-trading company called the Hudson's Bay Company. Rupert's Land then became the Northwest Territories after several more provinces were founded. After much delegation as a result of increased settlement in the southern area of NWT, in 1905 Alberta and Saskatchewan were given provincial status.
