It was created as a way to avoid the taxes paid by business district of Lonsdale subsidizing the residential areas. At the time, Lonsdale was the only main street in the area. As the surrounding areas grew, more streets were built but the original centering of the city around Lonsdale still stands as is shown inthis map.
