The story · 1880s onward, mixed eras
How Riverdale came to be.
Riverdale is a river valley neighbourhood just east of downtown, wrapped by the North Saskatchewan River on two sides. Early Edmontonians built it fast. It once had a lumber mill and brickyard, both fuelled by coal mined from the riverbank cliffs.
