History
In 1911, this area of the Gloucester Township was registered as the new subdivision of Bannermount. The new subdivision was intended to be built to house railway employees. Originally, the streets built began with Avenue A in the west. These streets in the western end of the subdivision would later be expropriated for Ottawa's new Train Station. Most houses were built in the subdivision in the 1950s when the neighbourhood was renamed Eastway Gardens.
