History
Allenby was first settled in the 1400's by the Huron Tribe which had a village here until sometime in the early 1700's. The present day neighbourhood was developed when Allenby Public School opened in 1927. The school was named after Lord Allenby, a British World War I hero.
Present
Very popular with families that have young children, this neighbourhood's biggest feature is the Allenby Public School which has an excellent reputation for its French Immersion program for students in grades one through six.
