East Danforth NeighbourhoodDanforth Village, north of the Danforth, was land originally held by the Church of England. Local street names like Glebemount, and Glebeholme, are remin ders that this was once Church land. The land south of the Danforth was not held by the Church. This land was originally owned by families engaged in either farming or in the brick making business. Danforth Avenue, this neighbourhood’s main thoroughfare, is named after Asa Danforth, an American contractor who built Kingston road in 1799 but ironically he had nothing to do with the building of Danforth Avenue.
