• At first, Calgary was named Fort Brisebois after Captain Éphrem A. Brisebois. He was very unpopular with troops.
• Fort Calgary was named after Lieutenant-Colonel James Macleod's ancestral home on the Isle of Mull in Scotland.
• Fort Calgary still stands today. It's not far from the downtown core, just east of City Hall.
