It is  primarily situated on the south slope of the Bow River  Valley escarpment. The  area’s diverse topography includes a variety of slopes and landforms. This has  led to a wide range of different housing developments, many of which offer views  of the Bow  River. Purchased in 1906  by James Shouldice, the community was named after his family. In 1910, he donated  100 acres along the Bow River to The City of Calgary for park space  (Shouldice  Athletic Park). Gradually, the community grew and  came to be known as Shouldice Terrace. In 1943, some problems developed with the  post office over the name, and its similarity to the town of Shouldice. After a request  for a name change, the Shouldice family chose Montgomery, named after Bernard Law Montgomery of Alamein,  a celebrated military leader from Great Britain who played an important  role in WWI and WWII. Development of the Montgomery area dates back to the 1940s. Montgomery was its own town prior to  being annexed to the City of Calgary in 1963. Shouldice Arena and Shouldice  Memorial Pool offer a variety of recreational opportunities to residents, as do  the area’s green spaces and new creative playground in Shouldice Park, built in 2002 as a Days of Caring  Project by the United  Way and The City of Calgary.
