History

edit

This road follows the path of a portion of a historic trail that ran from Fort Edmonton to Fort Victoria, known as "Victoria Trail" from the perspective of Edmontonians. It was part of a larger trail system known as the Carlton Trail which ran east as far as Fort Garry (Winnipeg).

Nearby Fort Road is built on a different trail that also was part of the Carlton Trail network. Where Victoria Trail ends, at 153 Avenue, Fort Road is nearby.
