History

In 1900, most of what is now Lake Walker was part of the Fisher Farm. There were a few rather grand houses along Walker Avenue and York Road. At that time Lake Avenue extended no further eastward than York Road. The first major development was York Road in the late 20s, featuring two styles of cottages along Cedarcroft, Hollen and Highwood.
