Online Dispensary in Hinton, AB

Hinton takes its name from its railway station, which the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway named after William Hinton, a company vice president and general manager. The land sits in Treaty 6 territory and served as a travel and trade corridor for thousands of years, used by Dene, Nakoda and later Woodland Cree, Saulteaux and Métis peoples. Jack Gregg opened a trading post here in 1888, railway construction camps appeared in 1908 and the station went up in 1911. Coal mining followed, starting at the Drinnan mine in 1928.

The real turning point came in 1955, when Northwest Pulp and Power started building a pulp mill that produced its first pulp on May 29, 1957. Hinton became a New Town in 1956, merged with the village of Drinnan in 1957 and became a town in 1958. It sits at 990 metres, about 27 km from the east gate of Jasper National Park, and the three-kilometre Beaver Boardwalk winds through the wetlands near Maxwell Lake. Today Hinton is home to 9,817 people (2021 census), about 284 km west of Edmonton. Weed Market ships to Hinton the same way it does across the rest of Alberta, fast, tracked and completely discreet.
