History
By 1915, some subdivisions activity was taking place in two locations of the Cross Country Area. "Bancroft Park" was an ambitious paper project that anticipated development along Bancroft Road and Clarks Lane both north and south of Western Run.

By 1940, however, very little building had taken place in the area. Some subdivision of land and a little building was also taking place along W. Strathmore Avenue, adjacent to the Glen community.

With the exception of several large apartment buildings, which were erected east of Park Heights Avenue in the 1920's, most residential construction in Cross Country took place between 1940 and 1960. The Cross Country Improvement Association was founded in 1971.
