The first \"new town\" planned and fully integrated post-war community developed by private enterprise in North America, the community was built between 1952 and 1965 on 835 hectares of land between the west and east Don River valleys.

Macklin Hancock, the chief planner of the Don Mills Development Corporation saw the community as a model town that would humanize urban life in the growing age of industry and the automobile. He made it his goal to show how important nature is and to have parks for generations of children and parents to enjoy.
