Living in McKernan.
McKernan joined Edmonton with the City of Strathcona in 1912, but building waited until the 1940s, when McKernan Lake, between 110 and 114 Streets and 72 and 76 Avenues, was drained.
Its edges are 109 Street and 114 Street, and University Avenue and 72 Avenue. Most houses were built between 1947 and 1953, with walk-up apartments added from the 1950s to the 1970s. Single-detached homes are the main type.
The north part has grid streets and the south part has curving ones. A small commercial centre sits on 76 Avenue, and there is an LRT stop at 76 Avenue and 114 Street.
It is named after James McKernan, a prominent Strathcona businessman whose farmhouse stood where McKernan School is now. The community league started in 1932.
