Bergman was one neighbourhood that made up the area called Beverly. After 1910 rich coal seams were discovered and coal mining spurred development.
In 1913 the area was incorporated as the Village of Beverly and in 1914 became a town. In 1961 Beverly amalgamated with the City of Edmonton to later be divided into neighbourhoods including Bergman. Character of Bergman is created from two distinct periods of construction; one very grid like, and the other curvilinear with cul de sac street patterns creating a very unique neighbourhood. Civic ward: Métis. District: North Central. City boundary records effective 1981-10-01.
