From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
De Winton is a hamlet located within the Municipal District of Foothills of Alberta, Canada. It lies just south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, west of Highway 2A (MacLeod Trail). The name is also often spelled Dewinton, even on highway directional signs.
During the Second World War, the RCAF and RAF trained pilots from the air-base at De Winton. Facilities looked quite primitive, with temporary buildings erected to house operations and accommodate service personnel.
[edit] Changing Dynamics
Just ten years ago the area was had no extensive suburban development but with the growth of the City of Calgary to the north, the population has more then doubled in the last ten years. This growth can almost be exclusively credited due to The Lake at Heritage Pointe development. This affluent community is centered around a man made lake in the south and forested ravines in the north part of the community. A recent Calgary Herald news report showed that Heritage Pointe had some of the highest home values in the Province[1].
