The land was originally owned by English settler William Royall in the 16th century. Some of Royall's land was later transferred to Moses Brown, a farmer in whose family it remained for over three hundred years.[5] The Browns' farmland was sold off in 1977, creating the Brown's Point Road development.[5]
