Headingley, Manitoba
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Headingley is a rural municipality in Manitoba, Canada. It is located directly west of Winnipeg and had a population of 1,907 people in the 2001 census. The Trans-Canada Highway and the Assiniboine River run through the municipality.
The town got its name from a place name in Scotland.
In the early part of the 20th century, an interurban train, Route 29, operated by the Suburban Rapid Transit Company served the Headingley area, but this line was discontinued in the 1930s.
From 1972 until 1993, Headingley was part of the City of Winnipeg. It seceded from the larger city in 1993 after extensive complaints that the local needs of the mostly rural community were not being met as part of a large urban city. As a result of the breakup, it is the only municipality besides Winnipeg in Statistics Canada's Manitoba Census Division No. 11.
