The area was originally part of Nepean Township. A streetcar line ran through it, and it became home to mostly blue-collar workers who commuted downtown, according to Wikipedia.
The 1950s and 1960s brought the Tunney's Pasture office campus and the Queensway, and the Transitway replaced the Scott Street rail line. The Hintonburg Community Association was formed in the late 1980s.
