Eglinton East, historically known as Knob Hill, is a residential and commercial neighbourhood in Scarborough. In 1896, Eglinton East was the most heavily populated town in the former Township of Scarborough. The residential development of Eglinton East started in the late 1940s and the 1950s when farm fields were swapped out with rows of war veterans’ housing and cozy bungalows. Today, Eglinton East is a working-class neighbourhood with many new immigrants settling in the area.
