History
Lakeland County was originally formed as a municipal district on July 1, 1998 through the separation of lands from the Municipal District of Bonnyville No. 87.[1] These lands included the Alberta portion of the Cold Lake Air Weapons Range. On May 1, 2002, Lakeland County absorbed Plamondon after it dissolved from village status.[4] Just over five years later on August 1, 2007, Lakeland County and the Town of Lac La Biche amalgamated with each other to form a new municipal district named Lac La Biche County.[2]
Demographics
In the 2011 Census, the dissolved Lakeland County had a population of 5,882 living in 2,060 of its 2,850 total dwellings, a -7.6% change from its 2006 population of 6,365. With a land area of 16,294.77 km2 (6,291.45 sq mi), it had a population density of 0.4/km2 (0.9/sq mi) in 2011.[3]
In the 2001 Census, Lakeland County had a population of 4,959, a 2.4% increase from its 1996 population of 4,842.[5] Its 2001 population was subsequently adjusted to 5,306 to reflect the 2002 dissolution of the Village of Plamondon, which had a population of 347 in 2001.[6]
