McCauley

Back in 1892, Edmonton burgeoned into a town with around 700 residents, mainly dwelling in Ross Flats and the vicinity near Jasper Avenue. Named after the city’s inaugural mayor, Matthew McCauley, McCauley itself remained relatively undeveloped until the early 20th century. With Edmonton gaining city status in 1905 and the introduction of a streetcar line in 1908, McCauley saw a surge in growth, especially with the extension of the line through its heart by 1912.
While undergoing occasional redevelopment, McCauley retains its residential charm, complemented by pockets of commercial and industrial activity. Its borders are defined by the CNR right-of-way to the south and flanked by major thoroughfares to the west and north. A bustling hub, McCauley is home to Edmonton’s vibrant Little Italy and Chinatown districts, alongside an array of churches and the iconic Commonwealth Stadium.
