It is an almost exclusively residential area, the great majority of its housing stock having been built in the late 1940s and early 1950s, by a consortium of five Ottawa area developers. Prior to its development, much of the land was slightly marshy treed area, used as riding trails stemming from nearby Mile Circle as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stables, which remain nearby, and are the home of the Musical Ride. It is well treed, with some notable white pines scattered throughout.
The first development in what is now Manor Park appeared in the mid-1920s, and was known as Rockcliffe Annex.Ottawa, Ontario. 1:63,360. Map Sheet 031G05, [ed. 7], 1925; Open Data
