Fort Garry is a large area in the southern part of Winnipeg, Manitoba. In 1912 the R. M. of Fort Garry was incorporated. Formerly, it had been part of R. M. of St. Vital. In 1972, the R. M. of Fort Garry joined with the City of Winnipeg and eleven other suburban municipalities in Unicity. It is primarily a middle class residential area and is very ethnically diverse. It includes the neighbourhoods of Beaumont, Wildwood Park, Point Road, Crescent Park, Chevrier, Whyte Ridge, Fort Richmond, Waverley Heights, Richmond West, and St. Norbert. As it is separated from the rest of Fort Garry by the Perimeter Highway, and due to its large Francophone population and history as a separate community, St. Norbert is often not considered to be a part of Fort Garry. Although some people think of Linden Woods as a part of Fort Garry, that neighbourhood actually lies within the borders of the former Town of Tuxedo.
