Alexander McBride

Alexander McBride (August 15, 1833[1] – December 20, 1912)[2] was the ninth mayor of Calgary, Alberta.

He narrowly won his mayoral election against incumbent Wesley Fletcher Orr.

Prior to moving to Calgary, McBride was a tinsmith in London, Ontario.

There, he and his wife, Lucy, built in 1874 the home located at 504 Colborne Street.

Early in the 1900s, he left Calgary and spent time in Fort Steele, British Columbia, Cranbrook, British Columbia, and Red Deer, Alberta.
