Named after the Rutherford community of which it is a part. Rutherford takes its name from Alexander Cameron Rutherford (1857-1941) who was the first premier of Alberta when a majority Liberal government was elected in 1905. Rutherford obtained a Law degree from McGill University and came to the Edmonton area with his family in 1895. Rutherford was instrumental in the construction of the University of Alberta and became a member of the university’s senate in 1907 and acted as chancellor between 1927 and 1941. Rutherford’s home on the north end of the university campus is an historic site.
