Neighbourhood Guide
What to know about Meyokumin.
Meyokumin is located in the south central portion of Mill Woods, within a cluster of 27 neighbourhoods in southeast Edmonton. The land that Mill Woods encompasses was part of the Papaschase Indian Reserve created in 1876. The Reserve was later sold to early white settlers and much of the land in the Mill Woods area was in agricultural production until the late 1960s.
Development of Meyokumin began in the late 1970s and continued into the 1980s. Single- detached homes account for most of the structures in Meyokumin. Meyokumin, like all the neighbourhoods in Mill Woods, has a curvilinear street pattern. Institutional land uses are grouped at the centre of the neighbourhood and higher density residential development is situated adjacent to the collector roadways that serve as access routes to and from the neighbourhood. A small commercial plaza that provides convenience goods and services is also centrally located and additional shopping opportunities are available at Town Centre Mall located directly north of the neighbourhood.
As Mill Woods was being planned, Edmonton City Council decided that the area's history would be recognized by giving Cree names to several neighbourhoods. In the Cree language, Meyokumin means "good water."
The City of Edmonton open-data release of the 2021 federal census records 2,880 residents in Meyokumin. The count is filed under neighbourhood number 6460, in the Mill Woods and Meadows district and the Karhiio ward. The census figure is the 2021 count, not a current population.
School designation for an address in Meyokumin comes from Edmonton Public Schools or Edmonton Catholic Schools, not from this page. Each division publishes an address lookup because attendance areas change. The City neighbourhood profile describes parks, housing and streets. It is not a school-boundary map.
