- In 1875 the mounties built a fort there. In 1876 it was named Fort Calgary after Calgary Bay in Scotland. When a railway station was built near Fort Calgary in 1883 the little settlement grew rapidly. In 1884 Calgary was incorporated as a town. It became a city in 1894. By then Calgary had a population of nearly 4,000. Calgary City Hall was built in 1911 and Calgary stampede began in 1912. Then in 1914 oil was discovered near Calgary and an oil refinery opened in the city in 1923. More oil was discovered in Alberta in 1947. As a result of oil Calgary boomed. Meanwhile Calgary Zoo was founded in 1920.
