Living in Strathcona.
Strathcona started growing when the Calgary and Edmonton Railway arrived in 1891. Early building centred on Whyte (82) Avenue, the area now called Old Strathcona. From 1908 to 1949 a streetcar ran along Whyte Avenue and linked it to downtown.
It was its own city until it joined Edmonton in 1912. Strathcona is known for its historic older homes, but walk-up and high-rise apartments make up most of its homes today.
From the 1980s on, public and private work brought Old Strathcona back as an entertainment and shopping hub with an "old town" feel. The river valley is to the north and Mill Creek Ravine to the east.
It is named after Lord Strathcona, Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company, who drove the last spike of the CPR railway.
