Bergman, situated in northeast Edmonton, is a community with a deep sense of pride and a rich historical background. The neighborhood was named after Gustav C. Bergman, who was the first mayor of the Town of Beverly, which Bergman was a part of before it amalgamated with Edmonton in 1961. Initially developed in the early 20th century with further expansion in the 1980s, Bergman combines the charm of mature areas with newer developments. According to the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census, Bergman has a population of about 1,365 residents living in approximately 500 dwellings, creating a small but vibrant community atmosphere.
