Shaganappi Homes For Sale

Despite having been annexed in 1910, the community of Shaganappi was not established until 1949. The name of the community, which means "rawhide" in Cree, dates back to the 1870s during which time the Cree lived in the area. Today, the community is bound to the north by the Escarpment on the south side of 10 Avenue, to the south by 17 Avenue, to the east by Crowchild Trail and to the west by Shaganappi Golf Course and 8 Avenue.
