Nash Road (Hamilton, Ontario)

Nash Road is a Lower City street in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off at King Street East in front of the Father Sean O'Sullivan Memorial Park and is a two-way collector road throughout that extends north to the Nashdale neighbourhood past Bancroft Street where it then hangs a right and turns into Brampton Street, a road that runs parallel with the northern portion of the Red Hill Valley Parkway and the Queen Elizabeth Expressway. After the 90 degree bend, the street signage labels the street as Nash Road where it intersects with Kenora Avenue, although all maps call that street Brampton Street. Nash Road then continues north of the QEW and ends shortly thereafter at Van Wagners Beach Road, the site of Confederation Park.

History

Nash Road was named after the family that once occupied a large farm at the corner of Nash Road and King Street. William Gage and His wife Susannah Jones Gage, first were deeded 600 acres of land. William later deeded the land to his daughter Susannah Gage. Susannah Gage married Samuel Nash, and they built The Grandview House on this property. It survived through 5 generations of family living there, until the house was donated to The City of Hamilton, and later moved down the street to 77 King Street West, to preserve the history.
