In 1956, Christie Park real estate was annexed from the Municipal District of Rockyview. Both Strathcona and Christie Park began development in the 1980’s and sit on a plateau that showcases just how beautiful the area really is. In 1990, long after the area was officially annexed to Calgary, the residential area of Christie Park was established. Springhaven, which is an extension of Strathcona, was developed in the late 1990’s and the development of Aspen began in 2001.
