Aberdeen Avenue is a Lower City arterial road in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. It starts off just West of ''Longwood Road South'' and East of Highway 403 as a two-way thoroughfare up to Queen Street South where it then switches over to a one-way collector road (Eastbound) to Bay Street South and then to another two-way section from Bay Street to ''James Mountain Road'', a mountain-access road in the city near the base of the Niagara Escarpment (mountain). ==History== ''Aberdeen Avenue'', was named after Lord Aberdeen (John Hamilton-Gordon, 1st Marquess of Aberdeen and Temair) and Lady Aberdeen (Ishbel Hamilton-Gordon, Marchioness of Aberdeen and Temair) who both lived in Hamilton on Bay Street South (1890-1898) with their four children. They presided over the opening of the ''Hamilton Public Library'' on September 16, 1890. Lord Aberdeen was appointed Governor General of Canada in 1893. Historically, the ''Durand neighbourhood'' along ''Markland Street'' and ''Aberdeen Avenue'', east of Queen Street, was home to the 'industrialists'. This south of downtown neighbourhood is quite possibly the largest concentration of early 20th-century castles/mansions in Canada. The grand homes were home to the families whose names graced the signs of the north end factories and made their fortunes in transportation, finance and industry. A massive McMaster University research campus called McMaster Innovation Park is currently being developed on the former Camco lands near Westdale. This will be an "idea factory" employing scientists and technicians. CANMET will employ 100 research scientists and support workers, including some of the top minds in Canada and will be the anchor tenant of the facility. They will be working closely with McMaster researchers and private industry to develop technologies for metal and materials manufacturing, processing and evaluation. Expected to be up-and-running by 2010. Other tenants already announced for the park include a corrosion research centre sponsored by General Motors and a diesel engine research lab sponsored by Ford.
