Its boundaries are Shaganappi Trail to the east, 32nd Avenue and Market Mall to the north, and the Bow River to the south and west. Immediately across the river to the west is the community of Bowness, itself a town until being annexed by Calgary in 1964.
Montgomery was originally established as a community in 1911.[3] On December 24, 1957, Montgomery incorporated as a town, but changed to village status less than four months later on April 15, 1958. The village was eventually absorbed by the City of Calgary on August 15, 1963 via amalgmation.
Montgomery is represented in the Calgary City Council by Ward 1 and 7 Aldermen Dale Hodges and Druh Farrell. The community has an area redevelopment plan in place.[4]
