History
The land where College Park East now exists was annexed in the period between 1970 and 1974. Home construction was at its peak from 1971 until 1980. Streets are named after Canadian universities and professors, which continues the theme from the College Park neighbourhood.[2] The community is also widely known by the variant name East College Park.
