I recommend a split of the material regarding the historical park known as Fort Edmonton Park from the Fort Edmonton article for the following reasons:
I am preparing this replacement article in my sandbox [1]
If there were approval for this split, the disambiguation would merely have to be changed so that Fort Edmonton Park no longer redirected to this page. Several articles which point here, with the intention of pointing to FEP, must be changed in this event, too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rpmullan ( talk • contribs) 07:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Under influence from WP:BOLD I have taken it upon myself to split Fort Edmonton Park into a separate, main article. The former "Living Historical Park" section that was in this article is in my sandbox, and I'll salvage what I can from that and put it into the new article. Also...
In the very near future I'll put up a to-do list on this page for both myself and anyone else interested on what can be done to populate this article with the historical details of the real Fort Edmonton. RPM ( talk) 03:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
I have written a Fort Edmonton article in my sandbox from scratch, and applied as many relevant portions of the former version of this article as I could. You can now see the result. Areas for further expansion:
So, if you work on one of these, feel free to strike it out from that list and please remember to sign it! Thank you!

According to Judge Frederick William Howay, in his 1929 book Builders of the West, published by Ryerson:
When John Peter Pruden came to Canada from Edmonton, England, he brought with him a name for the town which later became the capital of Alberta. Pruden was a clerk to George Sutherland of the Hudson's Bay Company, and when a fort was being built on the Saskatchewan in 1795, it was named Fort Edmonton. Fort Edmonton was destroyed in 1807, in l808 the fort was again rebuilt about twenty miles down the river where the city of Edmonton now stands.
Howay is a respected historian, and, I suggest, a better authority than the Real Estate News. The section on the naming of Fort Edmonton should be amended accordingly. 216.55.200.148 ( talk) 03:18, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
