Mission has retained it’s old world charm while evolving into a hip & trendy place to live. New buildings and businesses connect modern-day Calgarians to the area’s past, giving a nod to Mission’s unique history.
Mission has a deep historical significance in Calgary. Originally settled as a French Catholic mission in the late 1800s, the area became known as the Mission District. It was officially incorporated into the City of Calgary in the early 1900s and retains much of its old-world charm with a mix of preserved heritage buildings and churches. The influence of the French Catholic community is still visible today, especially in landmarks such as St. Mary’s Cathedral and St. Mary’s High School.
Over time, Mission has evolved into a dynamic, urban neighbourhood, balancing its historical roots with modern development. The area has seen significant revitalization over the years, with new condo projects and trendy commercial developments springing up along 4th Street SW, while maintaining its architectural heritage and historical character.
