History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

In medieval times, the area was mostly small farms, but by the end of the 17th century, it had become a resort or second home for wealthy people from Leeds[1] and in 1767 was described as the Montpellier of Yorkshire by one visitor.[2]

Chapel Allerton was incorporated into Leeds administrative area in 1869, as a civil parish. However, in 1900 it was still a village, isolated from Leeds and neighbouring Meanwood and Moortown by fields, which were gradually filled in with housing and new roads in the 20th century.
