History
The locality was named and bounded on 27 July 1991.[2] It was presumably named after the Calcium railway station on the Great Northern railway,[3] which had been named prior to 1914 after the calcium-bearing lime that was mined in the area.[4][5]

gollark: Somewhat late, but I don't think we don't particularly need fusion, fission is pretty good anyway.
gollark: The idea is to go around getting politicians to care slightly more about (appearing to) do something about climate change.
gollark: Which is technically correct, `<p>` meaning paragraph and all.
