History of North Edmonton

Following the arrival of the Canadian Northern Railway in Edmonton in 1905, development accelerated. It was known as Packingtown because of the large number of meatpacking plants that grew up in the area, particularly along 66th Street. It became the home of a Franciscan friary, built on land acquired by Bishop Emile Legal. On January 20, 1910, the Village of North Edmonton was incorporated, encompassing four quarter sections of land. It had a population of 404 in 1911.  On July 22, 1912, Edmonton annexed the village.
