Glenora is one of Edmonton's most beautiful and historical neighbourhoods. First staked out by Malcolm Groat in the 1860s and developed to appeal to many of the City's most prominent citizens of the time, it lies just west of downtown and a short drive from major commercial centres to the east and west. Glenora is characterised by large, uniquely handsome homes on streets lined with mature trees. The Provincial Museum and river valley highlight Glenora. Civic ward: Nakota Isga. District: Central. City boundary records effective 1981-10-01.
