Walking down the streets of Old Strathcona is a journey into the past. It’s all here — more than 100 years of glorious history that began in 1891, when the Calgary and Edmonton Railway Company decided to complete its line from Calgary to a terminus south of the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. Despite pressure to cross the river and end the line at Edmonton, the company wanted to monopolize the benefits of future land sales and so created a new settlement it called South Edmonton.”
