The New Community of Wellington
Wellington real estate gets its name from a prominent military figure, Arthur Wellesley, who was the Duke of Wellington, who was twice the Prime Minister of Britain in the 19th century. He led Britain to victory at the Battle of Waterloo during which time Napoleon was defeated. Residential development began in the 1950s after the land was subdivided. The original land was annexed to the City of Edmonton in 1913. Construction went on into the 1960s and was ongoing for the next two decades.
