Community of Malmo Plains
Welcome to Malmo Plains, a mature and family-friendly community nestled in Southwest Edmonton. Established in the 1960s, Malmo Plains boasts a diverse array of home styles, embodying accessibility and comfort. Bounded by 122nd Street to the west, 51st Ave to the north, 111th Street to the east, and Whitemud Drive to the south, this mature neighbourhood is steeped in the legacy of its origins as part of the University of Alberta's research farm.
The land that now comprises Malmo Plains was once a part of the farm located west of the neighbourhood. Fred Bentley, the dean of agriculture at the University of Alberta, proposed the name "Malmo" for the neighbourhood, derived from the type of soil prevalent in the area—a loamy variety known as malmo. This unique naming connection to the soil underscores the neighbourhood's ties to its agricultural past.
