The area was part of the police village of Ottawa West from 1912 until being annexed by Ottawa in 1949. The police village was bounded by Ottawa's city limits, the Ottawa River and the Britannia street car line.[6] Most of the homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s, with the last development in the 1950s. The community association was incorporated in 1991.[7]
Notable buildings include St. George Elementary School, the Ottawa mosque where the Ottawa Muslim Association has their meetings, and the adjacent Hall of Peace, formerly the Northwestern United Church.
