Norwood Boulevard (111 Avenue from 82 Street to 97 Street). This road name has existed since the early 1900s. It was so named because it formed the southern boundary of the Norwood Subdivision. Alex Rowland was the first European to settle this land. In 1903 he sold his property to the McDougall & Secord real estate investment company. The company named the area Norwood and put lots up for sale the following year. In 1906 the first building was erected on Norwood Boulevard; in 1909 the Norwood School was opened. - Naming Edmonton
