Long before development, this area was referred to by longtime Calgarians as "Jackson's Valley", an isolated valley beside the Sarcee Military Reserve. When development first began in the late 1990s, the community was known as New Discovery and it was originally planned as a gated community, but this idea was later dropped and today, Discovery Ridge can be accessed by the public.
Discovery Ridge was a project initialized by a developer in the early 1990.
It is represented in the Calgary City Council by the Ward 6 councillor.
