History
Until 1963, the area was known as Hyde Park Corner. Hyde Park's first settlers arrived in 1818 from Cumberland, England, making the hamlet older than the city of London. The area's first school, Hyde Park School, was built around 1840. Churches and hotels were also later constructed in the area. In 1852, tracks for the Great Western Railway were laid near Hyde Park. The first post office was opened in 1859.
Acquired by the city of London by annexation in 1992, it was previously a rural area.

Why this record matters
