Innisfail sits at the junction of Highway 2 and Highway 54 in Red Deer County, about 25 minutes south of Red Deer and 121 km north of Calgary. The Calgary and Edmonton Railway arrived in 1891 and the first post office followed, and the community first known as Poplar Grove was renamed Innisfail, a Gaelic name meaning "Isle of Destiny". It became a village in 1899 and a town in 1903.
The Innisfail and District Historical Village on 42 Street is a two-acre park of the area's history, the Innisfail Pro Rodeo runs on Father's Day weekend at the Daines grounds, and 2 km south of town the RCMP trains its police dogs, with free public demonstrations held from June to August in 2026. Four schools cover pre-kindergarten to grade 12.
