Inglewood has deep roots: As Calgary’s oldest community, established in 1875, it was originally known as the neighbourhoods of East Calgary, Brewery Flats, Pearce Estates, and Inglewood. Historically, this area was a winter camping site for the Indigenous people in the area. It was an attractive spot due to the shelter provided by the trees along the river and the warm westerly winds we know as Chinooks.

Our Inglewood neighbours take immense pride in their rich history as Calgary’s founding community and work hard to ensure we preserve and share this history as Calgarians. Just east of Fort Calgary, Inglewood was voted Canada’s best neighbourhood in 2014. Through the promotion of arts and culture and the revitalization of its main street, 9 Avenue SE, which is known for its vibrant collection of shops and famed restaurants, Inglewood is embracing the future as well as the past. Home to many amenities, it isn’t hard to spend an entire day in Inglewood. From the Sam Livingston Fish Hatchery, to the birthplace of Music Mile, to the serene Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, and the haunted rooms of the Deane House, Inglewood has something for everyone.
