A Concise History of Bloor West Village

November 20, 2023 Michael Leave a comment News

blogTO put together a neat history of our neighbourhood, from its beginnings in the mid 1800’s. Did you know that Runnymede Road was originally a “driveway” to an estate owned by John Scarlett? Or that parts of our neighbourhood had prohibition from 1904 until very recently, in 1997? You can read about these stories and more, here.
