Our History
In 1882 the area of Grandview Heights was a land holding southwest of Edmonton settlement owned by the McCauley family. It was first sub divided during the land boom of the early 1900's, but development did not occur immediately. Grandview Heights was annexed to the City of Edmonton in 1913 but remained beyond the limits of urban residential development until 1958 and 1960 when the land was subdivided into its current design. The neighborhood then developed rapidly, and most development was completed prior to 1970.
The name Grandview Heights dates from the 1880's when the area was first settled. It is likely a reference to the views of the river and creek valleys at the north and west borders.
