Ellerslie, Edmonton (area)

Ellerslie is an area in the southeast portion of the City of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1999 through Edmonton City Council's adoption of the Ellerslie Area Structure Plan, which guides the overall development of predominantly residential neighbourhoods in the area. While City of Edmonton documents note that there are diverse stories related to Scottish people, Scottish settlers introducing the name Ellerslie, it is known that the name was applied to the local school district by 1895, and to the local post office in 1896, when it was still a rural area many kilometres south of the early boundaries of the recently (1892) incorporated Timeline of Edmonton history#19th century, Town of Edmonton.
