Terra Losa is named from Vittorio "Victor" Losa (1905-1987), an Italian-born watchmaker who came to Edmonton in the 1920s. Residential construction began in the 1990s and continued into the 2000s.
This neighbourhood features a large amount of commercial space, on the east and west borders. The residential streets and homes within the interior of the neighbourhood are oriented around a central stormwater management lake and the Frank and Etta Wild Park. Terra Losa is unique in that the majority of the housing units are found in low-rise apartment buildings. Civic ward: Nakota Isga. District: West Edmonton. City boundary records effective 2005-04-26.
