Riverbend is the name most people use for the area tucked into a big bend of the North Saskatchewan River in southwest Edmonton. It is not one City neighbourhood but eight: Brander Gardens, Ramsay Heights, Rhatigan Ridge, Bulyea Heights, Henderson Estates, Falconer Heights, Carter Crest and Ogilvie Ridge.
The land joined Edmonton in 1960. In 1969 the Riverbend-Terwillegar Heights Outline Plan laid out a planned community for up to 95,000 people, and the City says it was the first residential area in Edmonton planned on that scale.
The neighbourhoods were built in waves. Brander Gardens and Ramsay Heights came first in the 1970s, Rhatigan Ridge, Ogilvie Ridge and Henderson Estates followed in the 1980s, and Carter Crest was finished in the 1990s.
Most streets are curving crescents and cul-de-sacs, with pathways that link parks, schools and the river valley. Fort Edmonton Park sits just to the north.
