In 1970, the Government of Alberta put
together the Mill Woods land bank. The idea
was to create a large urban extension in
Edmonton that would help combat the
increasing costs of residential land in the
city. The City of Edmonton worked quickly,
and by 1971, it had created the Millwoods
Development Concept plan. Residential
development began in Ekota soon after, while
work started in Satoo and Menisa in 1974 and
1976 respectively. The Knottwood
Community League was formed on Mar. 14,
1977, at a meeting in Satoo Elementary
School, where the residents resolved to
provide programs and facilities for the
three neighbourhoods.
For the past 40 years, these three
neighbourhoods have formed a partnership
that continues to provide Knottwoodians with
a strong sense of pride and community
spirit. Knottwood Community League
continues to bring together this great
community.
