Saskatoon is home to the [[University of Saskatchewan]], the [[Meewasin Valley Authority]]—which protects the South Saskatchewan River and provides for the city's popular riverbank park spaces—and [[Wanuskewin Heritage Park]], a [[National Historic Site of Canada]] and [[UNESCO]] World Heritage applicant representing 6,000 years of [[First Nations in Canada|First Nations]] history. The [[Corman Park No. 344, Saskatchewan|Rural Municipality of Corman Park No. 344]], the most populous [[List of rural municipalities in Saskatchewan|rural municipality]] in Saskatchewan, surrounds the city and contains many of the developments associated with it, including Wanuskewin. Saskatoon is named after the [[Amelanchier alnifolia|saskatoon berry]], which is native to the [[Canadian Cordillera|region]] and is itself derived from the [[Cree language|Cree]] ''{{lang|cr|misâskwatômina}}''. The city has a significant [[First Nations in Canada|Indigenous]] population and several urban [[Indian reserve|Reserves]]. The city has nine river crossings and is [[list of city nicknames and slogans in Canada#Saskatchewan|nicknamed]] "Paris of the Prairies" and "The City of Bridges".

Historic neighbourhoods of Saskatoon include [[Nutana]] and [[Riversdale, Saskatoon|Riversdale]], which were separate towns before amalgamating with the town of Saskatoon and incorporating it as a city in 1906. Nutana, Riversdale, their historic main streets of [[Broadway Avenue (Saskatoon)|Broadway Avenue]] and [[Riversdale, Saskatoon#Commercial|20th Street]], as well as the [[Central Business District, Saskatoon|downtown core]] and other central neighbourhoods are seeing significant reinvestment and redevelopment. [[Sutherland, Saskatoon|Sutherland]] was a rail town beyond the [[University of Saskatchewan]] lands, annexed by the city in 1956.
