Henry Farm is located in the north central part of town within the district of North York. It 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 (East Branch). The Don Mills subway station and the Fairview Mall shopping centre are located just to the north of the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood also encompasses a smaller neighbourhood, Parkway Forest, between Don Mills Road and Highway 404.
History:
Henry Farm was settled in 1806 by Henry Mulholland, a native of Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland. He later sold the farm, but his great grandson, George Stewart Henry, reacquired it in 1898. Henry was the tenth Premier of Ontario from 1930-34. One day before his death in 1958, Henry sold his farm for C$2,000,000 to the developers of the present day neighbourhood. Henry's house, called Oriole Lodge, still stands as a private residence at 17 Manorpark Court.
