About Riverdale

Just east of City Hall and bounded to the south and east by the river, this large flat area is an important part of Edmonton's history. Quickly developed by the city's early residents, Riverdale once featured a lumber mill and brickyard, both fuelled by coal mined from the cliffs overlooking the river. The area retains much of its original character, with charming cottage-type homes, a small church, and brick school lending it a turn-of-the-century atmosphere.
