About Calder, Edmonton
Calder is a historic neighbourhood in northwest Edmonton with roots in the early 20th century, originally linked to the Hudson’s Bay Company Reserve and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. This area, once a railroad colony, was settled primarily by railway employees and saw much of its development between the 1940s and 1950s. Calder offers a mix of one- and two-unit homes, many of which were built in the mid-1900s, though some of the original buildings date back to before 1910. In recent years, new “infill” homes have been introduced, revitalizing the community and adding modern housing options.
The neighbourhood of Calder is divided into the Elm Park subdivision to the east of 120th Street and the Village of Calder to the west. Initially, Calder was a small settlement that grew slowly after being annexed by Edmonton in the early 20th century. Significant development occurred post-WWII, especially after the population boom of the 1950s. The area’s history is reflected in its housing, with older structures in the southern part of the neighbourhood near the railway yards and newer homes found in the northern portions. Today, Calder is a well-established area offering a blend of historic charm and new development.
