Unlike most major roads in Peel, and the Greater Toronto Area in general, Mavis Rd. was largely built in modern times. Only the southernmost portion was part of Peel's original concession road grid, and was named Stavebank Rd, parts of which still bear that name (see above). The section north of Queensway was later renamed Mavis Rd. and was reconstructed as a major thoroughfare when when the area became more developed. It was extended north of its original terminus at Eglinton Avenue to Britannia Road in 1991, and then extended north of Highway 401 (where a new interchange was constucted) in 1998 to its current terminus at Steeles Ave. To connect with Chinguacousy Rd. at Steeles, the Mavis extension had to veer westwards from its main alignment and displaced Second Line West (which was subsequently either closed or broken up into various local streets) as the road which continued Chinguacousy southwards.
