Calgary's story starts at the junction of the Bow and Elbow rivers, where a North-West Mounted Police fort was built in 1875 and renamed Fort Calgary in 1876. Its palisade came down in 1882, and the NWMP used the expanded barracks until 1914, when the site was sold to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.
That sale tells you what came next: the railway reshaped the settlement, and the people who lived with that change are the focus of a social-history walk. The business of the West was done by ranch hands, railway crews, immigrants and Indigenous communities as much as by the officials whose names fill a plaque.
