Dewberry is a hamlet in central Alberta, situated within the County of Vermilion River. It lies about 66 km northwest of Lloydminster. The community takes its name from the dewberries that naturally grow in the area. Originally incorporated as a village on January 1, 1957, Dewberry dissolved its village status on January 1 , 2021, becoming a hamlet administered by the County of Vermilion River. The settlement began taking shape in the early 1900s, with a store and post office established around 1907. Later infrastructure milestones included the construction of water and sewer systems (1964), and community facilities such as a curling rink, fire hall, arena, and senior apartments between the mid?1960s and 1990.
