"Resolved – That the name Ainsworth Drive be approved for a new street on the property of Mr. Hugh Armstrong, situated off Ceylon Street and adjacent to Ainsworth Avenue". (24th June 1930).
This street is named from its proximity to Ainsorth Street.
It is surmised the "Ainsworth streets" (Ainsworth Avenue/Drive/Parade/Pass/Street) are called after the novelist William Harrison Ainsworth who died in 1882.
