Whyte Ridge is a residential subdivision of approximately 1500 homes in the southwest corner of the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The subdivision was built on former farmland, just south of a small town site that was historically known as Fort Whyte. The first homes in the subdivision were constructed in 1986. The final homes in the subdivision were constructed in 2007.The name of the neighbourhood was derived from William Whyte, who led a "bloodless battle" over railway rights in 1888 on land that is adjacent to the neighbourhood.
