In the first past of the 20th century, various businesses were based at the site now occupied by Hackney City Farm, ranging from furniture makers to button manufacturers. From 1940 onwards the site was occupied by a road haulage company. Later in 1982, local people formed the farm, and kept a few animals in the nearby Covent Gardens. Two years later in 1984, Hackney City Farm moved to the current site and was given a hundred year lease by Hackney Council. The attractive garden is alongside Goldsmith's Row.
