People are debating online where Edmonton's Northside truly begins

Edmonton’s Northside is a massive and culturally diverse area of the city, but what is its actual boundary?

Somebody on Twitter posed the question to their followers, and the responses were so varied it got us thinking — where does the Northside actually begin? And is this something we can all agree on?

One what Ave. does the Northside of Edmonton start, in your opinion?

Here is what people had to say:

“Northside” that exact term is everything north of the yellowhead

One person had a very nuanced response.

Northside: 118th
North side: the river
North Edmonton: Yellowhead

Apparently, there are many different ways to define the city’s north end. Some of the other responses were a bit all over the place.

The river should be the dividing line, like most every other city.

111. At first I was gonna say 118, but that would split Beverly, which is culturally north side.

However, there seems to be a bit of a consensus that Yellowhead Trail is the actual dividing line.

There was also “north of the tracks” which is/ was pretty much the yellow head

Some people don’t cross the river.
I don’t cross the Yellowhead, that’s the real boundary.

Every true northsider knows it’s yellowhead. Or 127ave. Same same
