The New Community of Dovercourt
In 1913, Dovercourt was annexed to the city of Edmonton but was not developed until after World War II. Dovercourt land was re-plotted in the 1950s under the able direction of Noel Dant, Edmonton’s first town planner. Along with some of the adjacent neighbourhoods, Dovercourt real estate was one of the first in the list of neighbourhoods planned and developed on the “neighbourhood unit” concept in North America.
A majority of Dovercourt homes for sale were constructed between 1940 and 1960 with single detached homes being the most pre-dominant structures.
The name of Dovercourt was in existence in 1910 and it is likely that it got its name from Dovercourt Village situated in Essex, England.
