Zenon Park's story begins in 1910, when French-American settlers arrived in the area. Immigrants from Quebec and the northern United States followed, and the community grew as a bilingual one, using both English and French.
In 1913 the settlement was officially named after Zenon Chamberland, the local postmaster. In those early years the economy rested on agriculture, including alfalfa farming, along with lumber. Zenon Park incorporated as a village on July 28, 1941.
The village's one designated heritage property is the Paroisse Notre Dame de la Nativité, the Roman Catholic church, built between 1930 and 1931 by Filion & Sons Co. Today Zenon Park is served by the Thunder Rail short-line railway and has its own community radio station, CKZP-FM.
