The Humber Valley Village community was created as part of Home Smith and Company's "Humber Valley Surveys" which included 3,000 acres of prime real estate spanning along the Humber River from the Queensway north to Eglinton Avenue. This vast land assembly consisted of the constructing of the Humber Valley Village area and the Kingsway, Baby Point, Old Mill and Princess Anne Gardens-Manor communities. The St. George's Golf Club off Islington Avenue was also developed by Home Smith and Company.
Robert Home Smith was the president of Home Smith and Company and a graduate of law from the University of Toronto. He was also a multi-talented person who served as Chairman of the Toronto Harbour Commission, assisted in pioneering the development of Northern Ontario Mines, and was president of numerous North American railway companies.
The first houses in Humber Valley Village were constructed in the 1930s near James Gardens, along the Humber Valley. Regrettably, Robert Home Smith died in 1935, long before the Humber Valley Village neighbourhood was completed in the 1960s.
