    EARLY HISTORY OF CALGARY Lawrence H. Bussard, B. A. Department of History UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA A THESIS Submitted to the University of Alberta in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts. Edmonton, Alberta. April, 1935. GOAT OF ARMS OF CALGARY The upper third of the shield shows the Rockies. The lower two-thirds bears the Red Gross of St. George, mounted by the Maple Leaf which again is inset by a Buffalo Bull. The supporters, a Horse and Steer, represent the wealth of Calgary. The Crest shows the Royal Crown (a sign of loyalty), and a Sunburst. Below are the Rose, the Thistle and the Shamrock, declaring the ancestry of Calgary which was founded in 1882, and in 1894 received her City Charter.

  • 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.

  • Harry M. Sanders Truth and Reconciliation Notes for Ward 9
    HARRY M. SANDERS TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION NOTES FOR WARD 9 1. Introduction In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) released its final report, titled Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future. The commission and its report ​ ​ addressed the damaging legacy of the residential school system and the policy behind it, which the report described as “cultural genocide.” At that time, City Council directed the Calgary Aboriginal Urban Affairs Committee to craft a response, which was published in 2016 as White Goose Flying: A Report to Calgary City Council on the Indian Residential School ​ Truth and Reconciliation—Calls to Action. In this context, Ward 9 Councillor Gian-Carlo ​ Carra concluded that a local-level response from his ward office would also be appropriate. Notably, Ward 9 includes the former site of the Calgary Indian Industrial School, an Anglican residential school that operated between 1896 and 1907. One of its students was Jack White Goose Flying (ca. 1878–1899), a Peigan teenager who died at the school and was the only student to be buried on its campus. The White Goose Flying ​ report was named for him. Councillor Carra tasked the author with examining evidence and reporting on the known associations of indigenous peoples with the area that comprises Ward 9. Using archival and published sources, archaeological reports, original research in newspaper accounts, and consultation with archaeologist Brian Vivian (a senior partner with Lifeways of Canada), the author has identified some of those associations, which have been categorized as follows: ● Indigenous peoples’ occupation/use of the land before contact/settlement (addressed below through archaeological evidence) ● Associations, including those of Métis people, following non-indigenous settlement/development (addressed below through written historical evidence and published sources) ● Names applied to natural features, built structures, neighbourhoods, etc.

  • GEORGE MURDOCH When Bow River Lodge No
    VOL. 49. NO. a Editor, M.W. Bm. W.J. COLLm APRIL, 1984 GEORGE MURDOCH When Bow River Lodge No. 1 held a preliminary meeting on January 6, 1884, George Murdoch was elected secretary of the meeting. When that Lodge was Instituted on January 28,1884 George Murdoch was elected the first Senior Warden. When the town of Calgary was incorporated as a town in the Northwest Territories on November 12,1884, George Murdoch was elected the first Mayor of Calgary. As the first Mayor of that little town of 200 George Murdoch presided over the first magistrate’s court, he installed the first School Trustees, started the first Fire Brigade. Not only was George Murdoch a builder of community life but he was a builder of buildings. He was born in Paisley, Scotland and moved with his family to St. John, New Brunswick when he was four years old. When he was eighteen he left home and settled in Chicago. There he learned to be a harness maker and built himself a shop in which to carry on his business. When the great fire swept through Chicago he lost all he had and was forced to move back to New Brunswick. Later he travelled west to Winnipeg where he bought a wagon and some goods, put them aboard a C.P.R. flatcar and instructed the railway to take the equipment to the end of the rail. This happened to be Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Here he unloaded his equipment and drove his cart west arriving two days later in the tent town of Medicine Hat.
