'''North Edmonton''' is a former village in [[Alberta]], [[Canada]] that was absorbed by the City of [[Edmonton]]. The approximate geographic centre of the former village is the current intersection of Fort Road, 66 Street and 127 Avenue in northeast Edmonton. Its land is now occupied by the [[List of neighbourhoods in Edmonton|Edmonton neighbourhoods]] of [[Balwin, Edmonton|Balwin]], [[Belvedere, Edmonton|Belvedere]], Industrial Heights, Kennedale Industrial and Yellowhead Corridor East.
== History ==
Development here grew up after the arrival of the [[Canadian Northern Railway]] in [[Edmonton]] in 1905.
It was commonly known as Packingtown, due to the large number of meatpacking plants that grew up in the area, especially along 66th Street.<ref name=":0">{{cite web | url=https://www.edmontonmapsheritage.ca/location/st-francis-mission/ | title=St. Francis Mission &#124; Edmonton Maps Heritage }}</ref>
It became the home of a Franciscan friary, built on land acquired by Bishop Emile Legal. The facility continued its operation until 2005.<ref name=":0" />
The Village of North Edmonton was incorporated on January 20, 1910, encompassing four quarter sections of land.<ref name=VofNEFormation>{{cite web | url=http://www.municipalaffairs.gov.ab.ca/cfml/pdf_search/pdf/CITY/0098/Edmonton_Gaz_Establishment_of_North_Edmonton_1910_No68.pdf | publisher=Province of Alberta | title=Establishment of the Village of North Edmonton | date=1910-02-20 | accessdate=2010-03-11}}</ref> It had a population of 404 in 1911.<ref name=1936census>{{cite book | title=Census of the Prairie Provinces, 1936 | publisher=Dominion Bureau of Statistics | volume=I: Population and Agriculture | page=835 | location=Ottawa | year=1938 }}</ref>
