It was its own city for a decade, or so, then it was merged into another growing area with a completely different name. Regardless, the post office and most maps use the original name. (It was a city between 1980 and April 1, 1995, when it was merged with Improvement District No. 18, creating the municipality of Wood Buffalo. However, Fort McMurray remains a designation used by Canada Post for mail delivery in this area) Clue #2

Besides the oil sands, the economy also relies on natural gas and oil pipelines, forestry and tourism. The two largest oil sand mining companies are Syncrude and Suncor Energy.)
