Area Overview
Located 30 minutes from Edmonton on Highway 21, the Village of New Sarepta is just moments away from Joseph Lake - Centennial Park and Miquelon Lake Provincial Park. New Sarepta offers a peaceful setting of a park and picnic area.
The Village derived its name from a group of German immigrant settlers from Russia. The railway, built in 1912, provided a nucleus for a town and homesteaders were quick to make the area a farming community.
This thriving Village is striving to become "Cartoon Capital of Canada". Visit its famous Fence of Fame. Many of the walls in the New Sarepta High School are adorned with original cartoon murals created by Yardley Jones.
