  • Urban Calgary 1884-1895 *
    Urban Calgary 1884-1895 * by M. L. FORAN * * The urban development of Calgary is usually associated with the twentieth century, for it was in the years 1901-1916 that the population increased from a modest 4,000 to over 56,000. 1 Certainly the first decade of Calgary's corporate existence could hardly be classed as auspicious. Visitors and officials often referred to "the village of Calgary"; parliamen­ tarians hotly criticized the town's right to a permanent post office, while even native sons, luxuriating in the pre-war population boom, spoke rather benignly of the "frontier town of the 1890's". 2 However, American histo­ riography contains many well-documented works which highlight the role of small communities in frontier societies, 3 and, when viewed in this light, the function of early Calgary was primarily urban. In the first place, by exhibiting overt signs of commercial confidence and aggressiveness, and by acting as a catalyst for regional aspirations, Calgary's metropolitan role defined itself from the outset. Secondly, by the instantaneous adoption of traditional institutions and values, Calgary acted as an acculturalizing agency modifying the direct influence of a frontier environment. I. - THE METROPOLIT AN DIMENSION In November, 1844, when Calgary was incorporated as a town, scarcely 500 people inhabited the rude shacks and temporary dwellings on both sides of the unbridged Elbow River. Although population increased steadily to about 3,800 in 1890, the depressed economic conditions of the early 1890's limited further growth and by 1895, Calgary's population probably still numbered fewer than 4,000.
