The 142 Street District Community League, now Crestwood, has the honor of being the first Edmonton Community League, formed in 1917. Precedents were set as these volunteers accomplished the important task of reserving land for recreational use. The company grew to 9 leagues and in 1921 The Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues was formed and created committees to address concerns related to Civics, Recreation, and Education.

As the umbrella organization for Edmonton's 150 leagues, EFCL has grown beyond compare. No other organization in North America has such a well developed system of volunteers within communities that provides sports, recreation, culture, and educational opportunities while addressing transportation and land use issues.
