History

Before annexation, the area consisted of mostly acreages. It was named after the Patterson family, who owned much of the land. Prior to that, it was knows as "Broadcast Hill", for the m to ft|250|abbr=yes CFCN re-transmission tower located here.

Originally, the University of Alberta was to be located on the site of the present day community; however, Edmonton was ultimately chosen as the site of the campus.Cite web| url= http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/BU/planning/pdf/patterson_heights_rev_concept_plan.pdf | title=Patterson Heights (Strathcona Cell "A"): Revised Concept Plan and Supporting Information| author=City of Calgary| year=2006| accessdate= 2007-07-22]

The lands were annexed to the city of Calgary in 1956 and Patterson Heights was established as a neighborhood in 1983. During the planning phase, in the early 1980s, Patterson Heights was referred to as Strathcona Cell "A".

During the XV Olympic Winter Games in 1988, the Broadcast Hill Media Village was located in Patterson Heights. The apartments have since been converted into condominiums.
