When I started geocaching, I would drive by this intersection twice a day and wonder why there was no cache at this site… well, "Welcome to Westview"! The name comes from the feeling I get every time I drive by this sign… it's either a feeling of "Welcome Home" or "See You Later", depending on the time of day

According to Wikipedia, Westview was originally named "Tuxedo Park" by real estate developers in 1912, but the area remained undeveloped until the 1960s. The east half of Westview is located on land annexed by the city in 1911, while the western half did not become part of Saskatoon until 1960.
The majority of development occurred in the 1970s and 1980s (although the neighbourhood, with the more-or-less current street layout, had appeared on city street maps as early as 1961). The neighbourhood was finally completed in the late 1990s. Located in what was at the time the northwest corner of the city, the neighbourhood was on the city's western edge, giving its residents a true "West view".
The Westview neighbourhood is bounded to the north by 37th Street, Circle Drive on the east and Junor Avenue on the west and 33rd Street to the south.
