Oyen is a small town in eastern Alberta, close to the Saskatchewan boundary, north of Medicine Hat.
Population: 1101 (2005)
Since there are no other communities within quite a distance, it is the service centre for a large but sparsely populated dryland farming area.
In the surrounding area wheat, barley, and canola are important crops, and beef cattle are raised.
It has a hospital, grain elevators, farm equipment dealerships, stores, a golf course, a local museum, and a number of churches. The regional public high school is found here, and it has a small Catholic elementary school.
