Historians in Edmonton speculate that the name of this neighbourhood may commemorate either Ellerslie/Elderslie House (believed to be the birthplace of William Wallace, the medieval Scots patriot) or a character in one of Sir Walter Scott's novels.
The Edmonton neighbourhood honours the 1st Marquis of Montrose, a Covenanter who in 1638 pledged to defend the Presbyterian Kirk of Scotland against King Charles I who was attempting to impose Anglicanism on the Scottish people.
Edmonton historians have put forward at least four theories on the origin of this neighbourhood's name, including the possibility that it may simply be a variation of Carlton.
