Named after the residential neighbourhood it was constructed in. The neighbourhood is named after Arthur W. Ormsby (1869-1961), who was superintendent of the Electric Light Department for 20 years. Ormsby came to Edmonton in 1892 and worked as a telephone repairman before joining the Electric Light and Power Company. From 1918 to 1920, Ormsby was a city commissioner.
