Henry Farm
Henry Farm is a neighbourhood in the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Prior to the amalgamation of the City of Toronto and five suburban municipalities, Henry Farm was a part of the City of North York.
Henry Farm is bounded on the north by Sheppard Avenue East, on the east by Don Mills Road, on the south by Highway 401, and on the west by the Don River. The Don Mills subway station on the Toronto Transit Commission's Sheppard subway line is located just to the east of the neighbourhood.
Henry Farm was originally a farm that belonged to George Stewart Henry. Henry was the 10th Premier of Ontario from 1930-34. Henry's house, called 'Oriole', still stands in Henry Farm on Manor Park Road.
Henry Farm was developed into a housing subdivision in the 1960s. Most of the neighbourhood is occupied by single-family houses. Along the north-east and south-east edges, are townhouse developments. The later are primarily social housing. There are also two high-rise apartment buildings at the south-east corner.
Henry Farm is home to Shaughnessy Public School of the Toronto School Board.
