The neighbourhood of Evansdale is named after Harry Marshall Erskine Evans, Edmonton's mayor from 1918 to 1919 and president of the Edmonton Board of Trade (now the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce) in 1916.

Both neighbourhoods are residential neighbourhoods with schools, churches, shopping, and medical services.
