Commercial and business/industrial land uses predominate and residential land uses are clustered in two distinct areas, one in the north and one in the south central area of the community.

The neighbourhood is located south of 145th Avenue, north of 137th Avenue, west of 124th street and east of 113A Street. Carlisle was developed on land annexed to the City of Edmonton in 1971. Development within the neighbourhood began in the 1970s shortly after the land was subdivided and construction continued into the 1980s with some remnant construction continuing on into the 2000s. Multi-unit structures are an integral part of the neighbourhood and are situated alongcollector roads. Recreation opportunities and parkland are located next to the communityleague and the elementary school in the centre of the neighbourhood.

The southern boundary of the neighbourhood is delineated by the commercial development fronting onto 137 Avenue. Kensington Prior to World War I, Edmonton was in the midst of a real estate boom. From the time it was incorporated as a town in 1892 until 1913, Edmonton expanded its boundaries substantially. The land that Kensington includes was subdivided by 1911 and was part of a large block of land that was annexed by Edmonton in 1913. At the time, the nearest development to Kensington was the village of Calder just to the south, and Calder itself was some miles from the developed portion of Edmonton. Wellington Wellington is located between 132 Avenue and 137 Avenue, and west of 127 Street to the McArthur Industrial neighbourhood. The area is part o f a large parcel of land that was annexed to Edmonton in 1913. At the time, the nearest development to Wellington was the Village of Calder to the southeast, which was some miles from the developed portion of Edmonton. Development in Wellington remained low until the area was subdivided in the 1950s. Most of the remainder of the neighbourhood was developed during the 1960s, and a small amountof residential construction continued for the next couple of decades.

HUDSON Fort Edmonton was first established on the site of today s legislature grounds, west of the Downtown neighborhood. However, the Hudson Bay Company Reserve lands were situated directly north of the Fort, and as the town grew it was forced to locate east of the Fort to allow for expansion. As a result, the turn of the century commercial hub of activity was located at Jasper Avenue and 97th Street. Jasper Avenue remains the main avenue but commercial activities have expanded significantly to the west of 97th Street, once the Downtown was able to expand into the south portion of the reserve. OLIVER Oliver is an older inner city neighbourhood, located immediately west of downtown, and bordered to the south by the River Valley and to the west by 124 Street. It was once known as EdŵoŶtoŶ s West EŶd, but was renamed in the 1950s after pioneer citizen Frank Oliver. Development in Oliver began during the 1880s when several institutional structures were built. The General Hospital and the original Misericordia Hospital were joined by numerous churches, several schools and a cloister. Residential development was firmly in place prior to World War I with infill or remnant parcels occurring in the 1930s. At the time, the southern and western portions of Oliver formed one of EdŵoŶtoŶ s more fashionable residential areas with many large homes and tree lined boulevards. Smaller, less ornate homes were built on infill sites, but primarily in the northern portion of Oliver.

STRATHCONA Development in Strathcona began with the arrival of the Calgary and Edmonton Railway line in 1891. Early development centred on the area of Whyte (82) Avenue, now called Old Strathcona. Subsequent commercial development extended along Whyte Avenue where, from 1908 to 1949, a streetcar line joined Strathcona and downtown Edmonton (via 99 Street). The neighbourhood became part of Edmonton when the City of Strathcona amalgamated with Edmonton in 1912. GARNEAU Garneau is one of EdŵoŶtoŶ s oldest inner-city neighbourhoods. Garneau was first developed as part of the City of Strathcona, and was fully developed when it joined Edmonton in the 1912 amalgamation. Since GaƌŶeau s early development, the expansion of the adjacent University of Alberta and the development of the Whyte (82) Avenue commercial area, have changed the residential makeup of Garneau. Although some of the original single-detached homes remain, large portions of the neighbourhood have been redeveloped into row housing and apartment buildings. University student housing and fraternity houses are located in northwest Garneau. The neighbourhood also contains a significant number of commercial businesses located along 109 Street, Whyte Avenue and 112 Street. QUEEN ALEXANDRA The northern portion of the Queen Alexandra neighbourhood formed part of the original Town of Strathcona, which was incorporated in 1899. Subdivision soon followed, and the area became part of Edmonton in the 1912 amalgamation. The area experienced strong growth prior to World War I and much of the area north of University Avenue to Whyte Avenue was developed rapidly. Singledetached residences dominated, but commercial land uses in the area of Whyte Avenue and 104 Street were also established as tƌathđoŷa s commercial district began to develop. The bulk of development south of University Avenue occurred during the 1940s and later.

Sifton Park Sifton Park is one of seven residential neighbourhoods in the Clareview district, and bounded on three sides by major roadways and by the Kennedale Ravine to the south. The Sifton Park area was first subdivided in 1912 during one of EdŵoŶtoŶ s early land booms. Despite its early start, the area remained beyond the bounds of urban development for many years.

York The York neighbourhood is located in northeast Edmonton. It was developed during the 1960s, when Edmonton was experiencing steady population growth. At the time, the typical dwelling unit was the single detached home. Unfortunately these structures could not be added to the market quickly or cheaply enough to satisfy the demands of the growing population. The planning for the York neighbourhood sought to meet the need for more dwelling units, and in 1967 row housing units in EdŵoŶtoŶ s first condominium complex were offered for sale in York. Belvedere Portions of Belvedere were originally part of the village of North Edmonton and were annexed to Edmonton in 1910. Until the annexation of the Town of Beverly in 1964, Belvedere was considered the outskirts of northeastern Edmonton. Belvedere sits along Fort Road, a key connector between Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan. With the opening of the Swift Company Packing Plant in 1908, commercial uses began to develop along the road and within the Belvedere neighbourhood. However, the majority of residential development in Belvedere occurred during the 1950s and 1960s.

Blackburn The Blackburn area was annexed to the City of Edmonton on January 1, 1982. The Blackburne neighbourhood was developed from the 1990s onwards.

Blackmud Creek Prior to undergoing urban development in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Blackmud Creek area was in agricultural use. The plan for Blackmud Creek was intended to take advantage of existing natural features within the area and to create an attractive and affordable residential community. A natural area of mixed tree species is preserved in the Virginia Park Woodland, located in the northeastern portion of the neighbourhood, and provides habitat for local flora and fauna species. Ellerslie The Ellerslie neighbourhood was planned and in the early 2000s, and development started soon after. Construction in this community was rapid, and the residential portions of the neighbourhood are now considered complete. The neighbourhood is bounded by Anthony Henday Drive to the north, 91st Street / Parsons Road to the west, Ellerslie Road to the south, and 66th Avenue to the east.
