Northwest Edmonton Real Estate:
Community of Carlton
Before residential development began in the 1990s, the land comprising Carlton was primarily utilized for agricultural and industrial purposes. Today, Carlton stands as a neighbourhood with a wealth of amenities situated in modern Northwest Edmonton.

Established by the Hudson Bay Company in 1798, Fort Carlton was strategically positioned at the confluence of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers.
