In 1874 they settled on River Lot 7 on the south side of the North Saskatchewan river opposite Fort Edmonton.

The Garneaus built a log cabin at 11103 Saskatchewan Drive, around what is now the Humanities Building at the University of Alberta. The area around the university is known as Garneau, named for Laurent Garneau.
