A lot of very old Calgarians always knew the general south of the tracks area colloquially as "Beltline" as it was the name of the streetcar route that more or less followed the boundaries. When amalgamation happened it was a natural choice.

The Beltline has been called the West End or Connaught by every cab company in town for years.
I just don't see the need to change the names of communities that have been there for a 100 years to appease folk who've been in Calgary for ten years.
If you know so much about the history of Calgary tell where Banff Corner is or where Jimmie's Corner is.
