Baltimore Neighborhoods: Canton - Southeast Planning District |
 | | Canton, an industrial community in southeast Baltimore, is the product of over one hundred years of planned development supervised by the Canton Company, a real estate development firm. |
 | | In 1866, the Canton Company initiated one of its major undertakings, the Union Railroad, which was designed to serve as a connector between the Pennsylvania Railroad and the railroad lines from the north and west. |
 | | In Canton, itself, the previous concentrations on the east and west sides of Harris Creek, and along Clinton Avenue, were growing together, especially along O'Donnell, Hudson and Dillon Streets. |
