Calgary has TONS of streets named after US spots and here's some
Canadians have always shared a close relationship with our neighbours to the south, and there are some street names in Calgary that prove it.
You may not have noticed that a number of Calgary streets are named after some major American cities and states from the East Coast to the West Coast.
It’s not just Canada, either; there’s actually an entire neighbourhood in California named after some of our major cities, like Calgary Circle and Edmonton Street.
While we’re a far cry away from the balmy weather of Pasadena or the breezes off the Atlantic Ocean, we’ve definitely taken some inspiration from those top destinations when it comes to naming our local roads.
