Flemingdon Park is separated from neighbouring communities by river valleys on three sides, and a light industrial area, now mostly used as corporate offices, next to several railway lines on the north side.The community is named after its original owner, Robert John Fleming, the Mayor of Toronto in 1892–1893 and 1896–1897, and the nearby Don River.HistoryFlemingdon Park was built on farmland owned by Robert John Fleming. After his death in 1925, it was sold to become public land.In 1958, following the trends of many other post-World War II cities, Toronto began to consider a large planned "apartment city" community for the 1950's population boom and influx of immigrants. Although there was immediate skepticism about the density of the development, the community was nevertheless built. Occupancy of the new apartments began in 1961, and the community was completed in the early 1970s. The community's developer was Olympia and York.
