History Of Glamorgan
Glamorgan was established in 1958 on land annexed in the mid-1950s (the Alberta Gazette records 1954; some local sources say 1956). The neighbourhood was named for the historic county of Glamorgan in Wales.
It developed as a post-war suburb of bungalows on generous lots, and its elevated position gives many streets views west to the Rockies. The Glamorgan Bakery, opened in 1977, has become a city-wide destination for its cheese buns.
