Parkhill

History of Parkhill

Parkhill traces its roots back to the late 19th century when it was established as one of Calgary’s earliest suburban communities. Originally known as “American Hill,” due to its popularity among American immigrants, the neighborhood was later renamed Parkhill in honor of the prominent Park family. Over the years, Parkhill has evolved from a small settlement into a thriving residential enclave, renowned for its tree-lined streets, historic homes, and close-knit community spirit.
