Queen Alexandra History

Part of Queen Alexandria used to be part of Strathcona Town, incorporated in 1899. After incorporation, subdivision followed and the community was named Queen Alexandra in honour of King Edward VII's wife. The city of Strathcona experienced plenty of growth prior to World War I and the neighbourhood's northern portion was dominated by single-family residences. At the same time, commercial establishments began to develop along Whyte Avenue and 104 Street. Much of the development around south of University Avenue occurred during the 1940s and later. 

The neighbourhood is bounded by Whyte Avenue to the north, Calgary Trail (104 Street) to the east, 109 Street to the west and 67 Avenue to the south.
