Many of the tree-lined avenues in Fresnaye are named after places in France, due to the fact that the majority of the land was once owned by a French family named Le Sueur. The family fled from religious persecution in France and made their home on the stunning banks of Fresnaye, which is named after the French region, Normandy Fresnaye.
