De Beauvoir Town history

---

19th century

Until 1820 the area now covered by De Beauvoir Town was open country with a few grand houses. In 1821, developer William Rhodes secured a lease for 150 acres (0.61 km) of land. Rhodes planned to build residences for the upper classes set on wide streets in a grid pattern. However, work stopped in 1823 when Rhodes was found to have obtained his lease unfairly.

20th Century

In 1907, the Fifth Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party held at the Brotherhood Church on the east side of Southgate Road. Attendees included Lenin, Stalin, Maxim Gorky, Rosa Luxemburg and Leon Trotsky. The southeast corner between Downham Road and Hertford Road was re-zoned for industrial use in 1937.
