About Hawthorne Meadows
Hawthorne Meadows was developed in the 1960s by Minto Construction on land that had previously been agricultural, part of Gloucester Township before amalgamation with Ottawa. The neighbourhood's consistent housing stock reflects Minto's mass-production approach of the era.
The community association, formed in 1961, has served residents for over six decades, making it one of Ottawa's longest-running neighbourhood organizations. This reflects the area's stable, engaged community character.
