• Notes

  Salisbury History A Short History of Salisbury United Church Salisbury United Church has a rich history with its roots firmly rooted in the fertile soil of the Salisbury District. In 1886, early settlers in the area around what is now Sherwood Park established a United Church congregation in Salisbury. Services were held in private homes, and later in a school. The first church was built at Salisbury Corner (which is now part of the cloverleaf located at the Sherwood Park Freeway and Highway 14) in 1915. Many families, including Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Roman Catholic worked together to build the community church. A new church building was erected in 1959. Volunteer workers included some if the first residents of Sherwood Park. In 1964, the building was moved to its present site at Broadmoor Boulevard and Mission Street, in order to make way for the new cloverleaf at Salisbury Corner. The building was enlarged in 1981. The Salisbury Pioneers The Salisbury District comprised sixteen square miles bounded by what is now Edmonton’s 17th Street on the west, Baseline Road on the north, approximately Clover Bar Road on the east, and Township Road 522 on the south. It took its name from Lord Salisbury who became Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1894. The following are the names of the pioneer families who settled and farmed in Salisbury District during the period from the 1890's to the 1955 establishment of Sherwood Park.
