The Municipal District of Greenview No. 16 is a municipal district in northwest Alberta, Canada.

It covers the full extent of Census Division 18. Its municipal office is located in the Town of Valleyview.

History

Human settlement of the area now forming Greenview occurred millennia ago with archaeological evidence of native peoples in the Grande Cache area dating back over 10,000 years. [3]

Modern settlement occurred predominately in the early twentieth century throughout the municipal district. Settlers and homesteaders followed various trails to found homesteads and early communities including DeBolt, Ridgevalley, and Grovedale. During the initial influx the Edson to Grande Prairie Trail was a common route for many settlers reaching the north and east sections of Greenview. [4]

In 1968 three improvement districts, formerly 110,111 and 126, were conglomerated to establish Improvement District 16. As an Improvement District it was initially administered under Alberta's Department of Municipal Affairs. In 1996 Improvement District 16 became the Municipal District of Greenview #16 and was fully self-governed. [5]
