Williamson Provincial Park was designated a Provincial Park in 1960. Named after Alexander Williamson an area landowner who settled in the area in the early 1920's. Originally from Scotland.
The Sekanie, Beaver, Chipewyan and Cree lived in the Sturgeon Lake in the early years. The name Sturgeon lake came from the translation of the word "Mo-koo-oo-pow" . Settlers began arriving in the early 1900's. The area was first surveyed in 1908 and eventually Alexander Williamson owned it in 1945. The government bought the land for $2500 in 1960 and later that year became a provincial park to be enjoyed by all.
