A number of the Beverly coal mines were located in the area. DemographicsIn the City of Edmonton's 2012 municipal census, Rundle Heights had a population of {{nts|3359}} living in {{nts|1426}} dwellings,[8] a -1.4% change from its 2009 population of {{nts|3405}}.[9] With a land area of {{convert|0.82|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, it had a population density of {{nts|4096.3}} people/km2 in 2012.[6][8] Residential developmentShortly after arriving in Canada in 1927, a Dutch immigrant named Jacob Prins bought a farm east of Beverly in the area that is now Rundle Heights, and which included one of the larger coal mines in the Edmonton Area.[10] The farm would grow to {{convert|400|acre|km2}}. In the 1950s, the Prins family tried strip mining coal near the river on the eastern side of the property. The venture proved unsuccessful. In 1956, the City of Edmonton bought the site of the strip mine and used it for the Beverly Dump, a place to dispose of the city's refuse and garbage. The Prin's farm ceased production in 1966, and most of the land was subdivided for the Rundle Heights neighbourhood. With the neighbourhood encroaching on the Beverly Dump, and the dump reaching the end of its useful life, the city reclaimed the dump site for parkland. Today, Rundle Park and the Rundle Golf Course occupy the area once known as the Beverly Dump. The stretch of 32nd street that runs in the northern part of the neighborhood contains numerous public housing developments.{{cn|date=April 2016}} The 3-2 Bloods are a set of the Bloods gang that operate in the area.[11] However, this area is a small portion of the neighborhood at large. The neighbourhood is bounded on the north by 118 Avenue, to the west by 34 Street (north of 111 Avenue) and 36 Street (south of 111 Avenue) and by the river valley to the south and east. Surrounding neighbourhoods are Abbottsfield to the north, Beacon Heights to the north west, and Beverly Heights to the west. There are two schools in Rundle Heights. The Rundle Heights Elementary School is operated by the Edmonton Public School System and St. Jerome Catholic Elementary School is operated by the Edmonton Catholic School System. MiningThe Town of Beverly was a coal mining town with over twenty mines operating in the area during the town's history. The following major mines were active in the area of Rundle Heights.
