This community has been in the city for over 100 years, first annexed to be part of the city in 1910. The community, once called Crossroads, changed the name to Mayland Heights in the 60s as part of the revitalisation during that time. The community’s borders are Deerfoot Trail, Trans-Canada highway, Memorial Drive, and Barlow Trail.

The Crossroads Community Association, still named for its original name is Mayland Heights’ association that has existed almost as long as the community itself.
