The story · Mostly post-war
How Athlone came to be.
Athlone in northwest Edmonton is named for the Earl of Athlone, Canada's Governor General from 1940 to 1946. Its west side is still sometimes called Dunvegan, after the Dunvegan Yards rail depot that stood here for about 70 years. The CN rail line is why there's a grain terminal nearby. Most homes are single-family and owner-occupied.
