Once farmed by the Allen family, this area was annexed by the City of Strathcona in 1907 and became part of Edmonton in 1912 when Strathcona and Edmonton amalgamated. Predominately a single-family residential neighbourhood, Allendale is south-centrally located and has good access to a number of amenities (including the University of Alberta, Southgate Shopping Centre, and the vibrant Whyte Avenue area).
