Edmonton is the capital of the Canadian Province of Alberta. Edmonton got its name from Fort Edmonton. Fort Edmonton got its name from a small community in England with the same name. The name Edmonton has a long history in England.
Edmonton, Alberta was established as a town in 1892. The town was named after Fort Edmonton which had been established by 1795. The name of the fort was suggested by John Peter Pruden after Edmonton, London, which was his home in England as well as the home of Sir James Winter Lake, the deputy governor of the Hudson's Bay Company at the time. Edmonton, England got its name from a region known as the Edmonton Hundred which was a district of the historic county of Middlesex from Saxon times.
