Henry Farm is a residential neighborhood located in Toronto, south of Sheppard Avenue between Leslie Street and Don Mills Road.
The Original Settlers
The land that Henry Farm sits on was first settled by Henry and Jane Mulholland in 1806. George Stewart Henry, grandson of the original couple, and Premier of Ontario, lived in the homestead, now situated on Manorpark Court, from the late 1800's to 1958.
Henry Mulholland was an Irish settler who made several trips back to Ireland to induce other immigrants to come to Canada. In 1833 he set sail on a return trip aboard "The Lady of the Lake". But he never reached Canada again as the ship struck an ice-berg on May 11th 1833 at Lat. 46.50N and Long 47.10W.
