The Cold Lake Air Weapons Range, situated towards the north of the city, is the Canadian equivalent to the US Air Force's Nellis Air Force Range.

It was the year 1970 when the city of Cold Lake was initially recorded on a map, under the name Coldwater Lake. More recently, on the 1st of October, the year 1996, the three original communities of the Town of Grand Centre, the Town of Cold Lake, and Medley (Canadian Forces Base 4 Wing) combined into the city of Cold Lake. Grand Centre was renamed Cold Lake South, and the original Cold Lake is known to Cold Lake North. Because of its origins, the area is also called the Tri-Town.

The city's economy is heavily dependent upon the military and its base called CFB Cold Lake. Also, the area has an emerging gas and oil exploration sector.

Each year Cold Lake hosts military forces from all over the world for Exercise Maple Flag, a training exercise where support staff and pilots of NATO allies can take advantage of the Air Weapons Range and relatively open rural air space. Running from 4 to 6 weeks and starting during the month of May of each and every year, commercial accommodations in the entire region are left with little to no vacancy. This annual exercise contributes a considerable amount of capital into these industries and various hospitality-related businesses.
