I thought it would be cool to find out the origin of Edmonton. Edmonton is named after present historical site Fort Edmonton. Fort Edmonton was a Hudson’s Bay trading post near Fort Augustus, a North West Company trading post. Both posts were deserted in 1810. Fort Edmonton is supposedly named after a former city district in London England. To think that our history traces back to 1810 and earlier and how things people in the past we are now learning about in present. I wonder if in the future people will be learning about life and saying “Wow! I can’t believe that they lived like that”.
