Mount Royal History: Established in the early 1900's, Mount Royal, one of Calgary’s oldest & most prestigious neighbourhoods, has its roots in the early 20th century. Originally known as “American Hill” due to the significant number of affluent American settlers who moved there, the area was later renamed Mount Royal to reflect its elevated position overlooking Downtown. The Canadian Pacific Railway played a central role in its development, marketing the neighbourhood to wealthy professionals & business owners. As a result, Mount Royal became home to some of the City's grandest residences, many of which still stand today as Heritage properties. The community was carefully planned with winding roads, landscaped boulevards & large lots, setting it apart from the typical grid layout found in other parts of Calgary. Its evolution has preserved much of its early 20th-century charm, blending Historic elegance with modern prestige.
