The Humewood area is named after the estate of a major lawyer and politician in early Toronto-William Hume Blake. He constructed Humewood in the 1850s and labeled it after his familial home in Ireland.
Humewood Park was a fraction of the old estate land and Humewood Drive was previously a private road which led to the estate. The Humewood home was sold by the Blake family in the 1870s. Not too long after that, it burned down and was swapped out with a similar home built on the land of the original house.
The Humewood house was purchased in 1912 by the Anglican Diocese as a safe haven for young women in distress. Although it has undergone major renovations and additions, it is a local landmark, still erected at number forty Humewood Drive.
