Is the Calgary Stampede the first stampede in Alberta?

Answer:
No, there were many stampedes in Alberta long before the Calgary Stampede was founded. The same with rodeos, as ranches that established themselves in the province of Alberta (and other provinces like B.C. and Saskatchewan) always liked to host local rodeo competitions between the Canadian cowboys and cowgirls that lived and worked on such ranches.
