Edmonton Trail

Edmonton Trail is a major north-south arterial road in the north-east quadrant of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The road connects Downtown Calgary from Reconciliation Bridge (formerly called the Langevin Bridge) and the 5th Avenue Flyover at Memorial Drive with north-central Calgary. Between Memorial Drive and 16 Avenue NE (and to a lesser degree up to 24 Avenue NE), Edmonton Trail is lined with restaurants and retail businesses. HistoryThe road is the remnant of the southern terminus of the Calgary and Edmonton Trail, a land transport route between the fur trading posts of Fort Edmonton and Fort Calgary, used as far back as the early 1800. The more modern trail was blazed by John Alexander McDougall in 1873 as far as Morley and extended to Calgary two years later. The northern terminus, called Calgary Trail, is a major arterial in south Edmonton. The street lies in the heart of the Italian community of Calgary, being the location of the first Italian lodge and Italian school of Calgary in the 1920s. Many Italian restaurants and stores still line the street.
