History
Originally part of Gloucester Township, what is now Hunt Club Park was annexed by the city of Ottawa in 1950, though at the time it was just farm land. The neighbourhood began to be developed in the 1980s by Richcraft Homes, beginning in the west. The eastern part of the neighbourhood was re-zoned in 1987 from industrial to residential, and was completed within the decade. A further development was built near Southwood Park, north of Johnston Road in the early 2000s.The name "Hunt Club Park" was first applied to the neighbouring Greenboro when it was being built in the 1980s. By the 1990s, Hunt Club Park was described as starting at Lorry Greenberg Dr, with Greenboro being north and west. The area south of Lorry Greenberg is now considered part of Greenboro.
