The area was originally inhabited by First Nations peoples, including the Niitsitapi and Tsuutʼina, who referred to the location as Mohkínstsis. In 1875, the North-West Mounted Police established Fort Brisebois, which was renamed Fort Calgary in 1876 after a location in Scotland. The city incorporated as a town in 1884 and as a city in 1894, growing rapidly following the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1883.
