In 1875 an Anglican minister built a church, home and hospital which he called the Hermitage, a name which is now used to describe the three neighbourhoods in this area. Much of the land was agricultural until 1960 when Overlanders and the other two Hermitage neighbourhoods were subdivided.
Explore how Overlanders fits on the map: the gold fill is the boundary in effect for the selected time period, dashed outlines show every earlier superseded shape from prior eras, red pins are linked structures built in that era, and purple pins are sites. Use the time period buttons below the map to explore the neighbourhood over time. Boundary history is documented in Stories.
Development began in the late 1970s, a mixture of single-family homes, row housing and apartment buildngs on a curving street system. Residents, many of them young families, have easy access to river valley parks. Civic ward: Dene. District: Northeast. City boundary records effective 1981-10-01.
