Before real estate in Flemingdon Park existed, it was initially farmland owned by Robert John Fleming. Subsequent to his death in 1925, the property was sold and became public land.Following the trends of several other post-World War II cities, in 1958 Toronto began to consider a big designed "apartment city" community for the flood of immigrants.
Even though there was instant skepticism about the concentration of the development, the district was nevertheless built. The community's developer was Olympia and York. Habitation of the new apartments began in 1961, and the community was finished in the early 1970s. In September of 1969, the Ontario Science Centre opened to the public.
