History and development

Before the Leas

The general area of Toronto had been inhabited by various Indians at least as early as 3000 BCE, when the Laurentian peoples moved south into the area just east of Toronto. Aboriginal people in Canada, also known as Canadian aboriginal citizens, are people who belong to recognized indigenous groups in the Canadian Constitution Act [3] The first European known to travel to the area was Étienne Brûle, who passed through the area in the early part of the seventeenth century. Étienne Brûlé ( c 1592 ( Champigny-sur-Marne, France) &ndash c Surveying and settlement by Europeans began in earnest in the 1780s, with the influx of loyalists fleeing the American Revolution. In general a loyalist is one who maintains loyalty to an established government political party or sovereign especially during war or revolutionary change In this article the inhabitants of the thirteen colonies that supported the American Revolution are primarily referred to as "Americans" with occasional references to "Patriots"

Lea family settles Lot 13

John Lea immigrated to York, Upper Canada in 1819, coming from Philadelphia. York was the name of Toronto, Ontario, between 1793 and 1834 and second capital of Upper Canada. Philadelphia (ˌfɪləˈdɛlfiə [4] He had come to the United States from England only a year previous. He purchased Lot 13 in the third concession from Alexander McDonnell on January 23, 1820 and settled there with his family. Events 393 - Roman Emperor Theodosius I proclaims his nine year old son Honorius co-emperor Year 1820 ( MDCCCXX) was a Leap year starting on Saturday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year [5] John Lea had three children - William, John Jr. and Mary. In 1851, William Lea bought land just south of his father's farm, and began constructing a large, octagonal brick house, which he named "Leaside". The house was completed in 1854. [6] The building served not only as a home for Lea's family, but after he became a Magistrate in the County of York, and soon served as a post office as well. A magistrate is a judicial officer In Common law systems a magistrate usually has limited authority to administer and enforce the Law. [7] The property became the possession of his son Joseph upon his death in 1893.

Railways come to Leaside

In the 1870s, the Ontario and Quebec Railway Company purchased a few acres of land on the south-east corner of William Lea's property to run its railway across. The Ontario and Quebec Railway ( O&Q) is a historic Canadian railway located in eastern Ontario. The Ontario and Quebec Railway Company encountered financial difficulties in 1884, and leased part of its railway, including the section of track running through Leaside, to the Canadian Pacific Railway for 999 years. The Canadian Pacific Railway ( [8] The Canadian Pacific Railway decided to establish a maintenance stop and a sliding by-pass on the railway on the land purchased from William Lea, which was attractive because it was uniformly flat. The station was completed in September of 1884 and named "Leaside" in honour of William Lea. [9] In 1892 a junction was built in the Leaside area, and a railway line was constructed south along the Don towards Union Station. For other meanings see Union Station. See List of Union Stations for a specific station with the name [10]

In 1912, William Mackenzie and Donald Mann, the owners of the Canadian Northern Railway hired planner Frederick Todd to plan development for a community to be built around a maintenance yard for their railway. The Atlas of Canada is an Internet Atlas that has information on every City, Town, Village, and hamlet in Canada Sir William Mackenzie ( October 17 1849 &ndash December 5 1923) was a Canadian railway contractor and entrepreneur Sir Donald Mann ( March 23, 1853 - November 10, 1934) was a Canadian railway contractor and entrepreneur The Canadian Northern Railway ( CNoR) is a historic Canadian Frederick Gage Todd (March 11 1876 - February 15 1948 was the first resident Landscape architect in Canada [11] Mackenzie and Todd founded the York Land Company to purchase land for such a town. The company purchased over 1,000 acres (4. 0 km²) most of the third concession and some land north of Eglinton Avenue. Eglinton Avenue is an east-west thoroughfare in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and in Mississauga to the west [9] The purchased lands extended from the railway tracks in the south to three farms north of Eglinton Avenue, from Leslie Street in the east to Bayview Avenue in the west. Bayview Avenue is a major north-south route in Toronto, Ontario, Canada [12] The town of Leaside was planned by Todd for the company, which put its name to many of the local streets; Laird Drive, Hanna Road and Wickseed Avenue all bear the name of Canadian Northern Railway company executives. [11] The new community was planned with commercial areas, residential areas and a town centre west of Laird Drive, and space was laid out east of Laird Drive for industrial development. The goal of the company was to create Leaside as a new upper class residential area of Toronto, the "New Rosedale". Rosedale is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located north of the downtown of Toronto and is one of its oldest suburbs [12] The developers first approached the town of North Toronto, hoping that North Toronto would annex the area and provide services such as streets, sewers and public transportation. North Toronto is the northern section of the old pre-amalgamation City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The city council of New Toronto refused. [13] A similar request to the city of Toronto was met with a similar reply. With their attempts to include Leaside within another city or town rebuffed, Colonel Davidson and Randolph McRae applied to the province of Ontario to incorporate Leaside as a town.

The Town of Leaside was officially incorporated on April 23, 1913. Events 215 BC - A temple is built on the Capitoline Hill dedicated to Venus Erycina to commemorate the Roman defeat at Year 1913 ( MCMXIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common [2] The population of Leaside was 43 individuals.

In 1914 the industrial area that had been set aside east of Laird Drive received its first tenant. Canada Wire and Cable began construction of a factory for production of 9.2 inch shells for World War One. A shell is a payload-carrying Projectile, which as opposed to shot, contains an explosive or other filling though modern usage includes large solid projectiles World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All [15] In addition to the new factory, Canada Wire and Cable moved their other Toronto production plants to the same location to increase efficiency. Canada Wire and Cable also created the subsidiary company Leaside Munitions Company to oversee shell production. [15] Soon after construction began on a federal government owned airstrip, named Leaside Aerodrome. Leaside Aerodrome was an airport in the Town of Leaside, Ontario (now a neighbourhood of Toronto) The York Land Company leased about 220 acres (0. 9 km²) to the government for the airfield, between Wicksteed Avenue and Eglinton Avenue. [15] On May 21, 1917 construction began on the airfield. Events 878 - Syracuse Italy is captured by the Muslim sultan of Sicily. Year 1917 ( MCMXVII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year At the close of the war, there were accommodations for around 1000 military personal. [16]

While the industrial development in the area went ahead as planned during World War One, the anticipated residential development did not occur. [17] As late as 1929 the population remained under 500. [18] World War I spurred the demand for industrial output but diminished the call for new housing. The bankruptcy of Canadian Northern Railway left the project at a loss and Leaside's isolated location made it unappealing to workers from Toronto.

[16] After the war there was little need for shells and other war materials, and the factories of the Leaside Munition Company were closed. These buildings were quickly occupied by the Durant Motor Company, which produced cars named Durants and Stars as well as the Rugby truck. Durant Motors Inc was established in 1921 by former General Motors CEO William Crapo Durant (also known as Billy Durant following his termination by the GM Durant was a make of Automobile assembled by Durant Motors Corporation of New York New York from 1921 to 1926 and again from 1928 to 1932 This article is about the American automobile To see the article on the British Star Car Company, go to Star Motor Company.

Leaside's growth slowed after World War I, with its primary industry being war industry. The existing houses had all been built for employees of the Leaside Munitions Company by the company. [19] However, at this time Leaside stood on the edge of Toronto and was increasingly an appealing place for investment. Investors from Baltimore bought property that had previously belonged to Robert Davies for the construction of a race track. Robert Davies may refer to Robert Davies (politician, British Labour politician Robert Davies (GC, World War II lieutenant and recipient A race track (or 'racetrack' or 'racing track' is a purpose-built facility for Racing of animals (eg They formed the Thorncliffe Park Racing and Breeding Association Ltd. to operate the race track.

In 1928, the Lincoln Electric Company of Canada Ltd. relocated from Toronto's west end to Leaside. The company originally sold Lincoln motors in Canada, but incorporated in 1930 and began the manufacture of motors in Leaside. [21] At the onset of the Great Depression, the Durant Motor Company ran into financial troubles. The last cars were produced in 1933, and the buildings were occupied by the Canada Wire and Cable company. [16][22]

At the start of World War II, Lincoln Electric moved their operations to Leaside industrial park, adjacent to the Canada Wire and Cable plant. The new location, constructed in 1940, covered 30 000 square feet (0 m²). [23] On July 16, 1940, Research Enterprises Inc.

The company operated only during the war, closing in 1946. The company was, however, the largest single employer in Leaside's history, employing over 7500 men and women at its peak. [24] The site manufactured military radio equipment and optical supplies, with a total value of $220 million (CDN) in goods produced during the war.

In 1945 at the end of World War II the population of Leaside stood at 9800. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including [25] In 1949, Leaside's population had grown to 14 826. [25]

In 1952 the Lincoln Electric company expanded to a 220 000-square-foot (0 m²) plant, and their site expanded to cover almost 7 acres. [23] They leased an additional 50 000-square-foot (0 m²) building in Leaside to house their distribution center.
