Calder, located in the northwest part of Edmonton, is a neighborhood with a rich history and a strong sense of community. Originally established as the Village of West Edmonton in 1910, it was later annexed by the city in 1917 and renamed Calder. The area's development was significantly influenced by the arrival of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway in the early 20th century. Today, Calder remains a residential area noted for its mature trees, historic charm, and the diversity of its residents. According to the 2019 Edmonton Municipal Census, Calder is home to approximately 2,402 residents living in about 1,030 dwellings, making it a smaller, closely-knit community.
