Prior to circa 1910, Robie Street ended at North Street, with the continuation of the road to the north being part of Kempt Road and continued farther north from Young Street as Lonegard Road.[3] At first, Robie was mainly a residential and commercial street, but in 1882, the Nova Scotia Cotton Manufacturing Company was constructed at the intersection with Almon Street, which was followed by a series of other factories and created an industrial distinct at the north end of Robie.
