Bankview is a neighbourhood in the South-West quadrant of the city of Calgary, Alberta.The neighbourhood is bounded by 17th Avenue SW on the north, 26th Avenue SW on the south, 14th Street SW on the east and 19th Street SW on the west. It is a residential neighbourhood located south-west of the high density Beltline district of the inner city.
William Nimmons purchased the lands of the present day Bankview neighbourhood from the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1882, for ranching and farming. He established the 3-D-Bar Ranch on these lands, and later a sandstone quarry and a theater. The Nimmons residence, built in 1884, is now a heritage building, and still stands in the north-east corner of Bankview.
By 1902, during a housing shortage due to 1900’s economic boom, Nimmons divided the land, and begun selling plots to newly arrived settlers. In 1908, the remainder of the land was bought by the City of Calgary, and was divided in the traditional grid system.
