Rutherford History

Rutherford is named after Alexander Cameron Rutherford (1857–1941), the first premier of Alberta when a majority Liberal government was elected in 1905. He was a key figure in the construction of the University of Alberta and went on to serve in the University's senate and later became chancellor.

Rutherford was developed under Heritage Valley Servicing Concept Design Brief (SCDB). By 2006, the neighbourhood was under construction, and only a quarter of the planned homes had been built. 

85% of Rutherford houses are single-family, while the remaining few are duplexes, condos and row houses.

Rutherford is bounded on the north by Ellerslie Road, west by 127 Street, east by James Mowatt Trail, and south by 22 Avenue.
