Description
Strathcona was incorporated as a city in the spring of 1907. A month later, Premier A.C. Rutherford announced that a provincial university would be built there. Although this area was outside the Strathcona boundaries, it was subdivided in anticipation of the new city’s rapid development and named Grand View Heights. The name probably refers to the view of the river valley and the ravine that border the area. In 1913 this area, as part of Strathcona, was annexed to Edmonton. Grandview Heights was officially adopted as the neighbourhood name in 1956.
