New Sudbury, formerly called the North End of McKim and Neelon Township, is situated north of Wilma Street along Notre-Dame Avenue and south of McCrea Heights, near the Maley Drive extension. It stretches west to Frood Road and east to approximately eleven kilometres before Coniston, and south to include the north side of the Kingsway, up to where the old city limits arch stood on the Kingsway (a few feet west of where Laking Toyota is now situated).  

Initially bush in the 1880s, it became the site of a prosperous lumbering industry in 1888. With the railroad coming to Sudbury circa 1883, pioneer farming families came from Québec, southern Ontario, and parts of Europe. Farms were located along Garson Road (Lasalle Boulevard), from Maley Drive in the north and up to Capreol Road (Notre-Dame Avenue) in the west.

With the mining industry rapidly growing in the early 1920s and 1930s, emissions produced by the industry’s roasting beds made farming more difficult and eventually impossible. Eventually, the farmers sold their properties to developers, and by the 1950s and 1960s, New Sudbury become home to many residences, schools, churches and commercial enterprises, including the New Sudbury Shopping Centre which opened in 1957. In 1949, the area was renamed New Sudbury. In the 1960 amalgamation, Sudbury became a city of 75,000 people, absorbing the residents of McKim Township, the west half of Neelon Township, and Frood and Stobie.
