Beltline History

The Calgary Beltline consists of two older areas called Connaught and Victoria Park, the latter of which originated from the late 1800s when the Calgary Stampede completed the construction of a race track and exhibition building on their newly purchased land. The area was named Victoria Park after Queen Victoria.

Victoria Park has been a centre of growth and investment since Calgary’s first boom in the early 20th century. The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built a station and loading docks in 1902, in what is today’s “Warehouse District” between 9th and 10th Avenue SE, enticing people to the area. The CPR then began to purchase plots of land from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police so their employees would have somewhere to live close to their place of work. The plots were then divided into 25 by 100-foot properties and sold in lottery-type sales.

This influx of people into the area allowed for the development of Haultain School, the original 2-room schoolhouse still in Haultain Park today. Today, it is surrounded by a state-of-the-art playground, grass field, and tennis courts. Memorial Park Library was also opened during Calgary’s first boom, in 1912.  It was the first public library in all of Alberta, and Victoria Park residents still enjoy its services today.

In recent years, the Beltline area of Calgary has seen rapid growth, with several new rental/for-sale apartment buildings under construction. Developmental parcels available in the area are dropping, resulting in a surge of demand for new land from commercial and residential developers.
