Old Kildonan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rural Municipality of Old Kildonan was originally part of the Rural Municipality of Kildonan, which was formed in 1876 in Manitoba.
This was part of the Red River Settlement, and originally rivalled Fort Garry in the Winnipeg area.
It is bounded by the Red River on the east; the North Limit of the City of Winnipeg on the north; Pipline Road, Mollard Road, Ritchie Street, Farmer Avenue, and Keewatin Street on the west; and Carruthers Avenue, McPhillips Street, Templeton Avenue, the Canadian Pacific Railway Winnipeg Beach Subdivision, Seaforth Avenue, Main Street, and the north limit of the Kildonan Golf Course on the south.
From 1876 to 1914, Kildonan covered a large area on both sides of the Red River, just north of the original City of Winnipeg. In 1914, Kildonan was divided: The area east of the river became the R. M. of East Kildonan, and the area west of the river became the R. M. of West Kildonan. At that time, West Kildonan included the area of Old Kildonan but in 1925 the two municipalities divided, as West Kildonan had been developed as a residential suburb of Winnipeg, and wanted expensive urban services, while Old Kildonan remained primarily rural, and still had the rural farming character of the "Old" Parish of Kildonan. The area did not see substantial development until the late 1960s with the construction of The Maples subdvision, and even today contains substantial undeveloped area and a number of farms.
Since 1972, Old Kildonan has been a part of the City of Winnipeg and is a city council ward. The population as of the 2001 census is 27,640 (Source: Statistics Canada).
