Edmonton is the northernmost and easternmost city of the Salish Federation, situated on the banks of Alberta's Lesser Slave Lake. Founded on the abandoned townsite of the old city of Strathcona on April 15, 2020, Edmonton has rapidly grown into a cultural and economic hub for all of Northern Alberta, hence its nickname the Gateway to the North.
Geography
Neighbourhoods
The city is home to a variety of unique neighbourhoods, each with their own distinct characteristics. The City of Edmonton maintains a register of the city's neighbourhoods.
- New Strathcona - Home to Churchill Square and the Town Hall, New Strathcona was the original townsite. It was given this name as it stood across from the ruins of Old Strathcona.
- Downtown - A high-density neighbourhood clustered around Jasper Avenue and the north bank of Lesser Slave Lake. The city has made active efforts to plant more trees and develop public squares and parks in the area in order to attract more residents & tourists.
