Leaside is a
community
in
Toronto
which was first settled by John Lea a
pioneer
farmer
who
emigrated
to
Canada
from
Philadelphia
in 1819.
The Canadian Northern Railway
incorporated
the
Town
of Leaside in 1913 on land formerly owned by the Lea family. Leaside's development was
historically
significant
in that it was the first town in
Ontario
to be completely
plan
ned on
paper
before any
home
s were actually
built
.
Leaside's residential
develop
ment was stalled due to the outbreak of
World War I
, however
Leaside
was an important contributor to the
war effort
.
Heavy artillery
was manufactured at the Leaside Munitions Company. Leaside was also the location of an
airfield
used for the
training
of Canadian
pilots
.
In 1918 the Leaside Airfield made
Canadian
aviation
history as the
terminus
of the first
airmail
flight
in Canada, travelling from
Montreal
to
Toronto
. Leaside's status as a Town came to an
end
in
1967
when it became part of the
Borough
of
East York
, which has
since
amalgamated
with the City of
Toronto
.
