Welcome to the North Toronto Historical Society's Home Page




 

 The North Toronto Historical Society is a volunteer organization which was established in 1975 as the Central Eglinton Historical Society. Its goal is to preserve the history of the area formerly known as the Town of North Toronto. The Town of North Toronto was formed in 1890 from the unincorporated villages of Davisville and Eglinton. The village of Bedford Park joined in 1892. The Town existed until 1912 when it was annexed by the City of Toronto. The Town had its own schools, waterworks and police service.

Our Fall Walk - Bedford Park / Teddington Park - Sunday Oct. 2, 2011

This year the weather gods co-operated as the rain stopped just before the start of our walk. Our small but hardy group met in front of St. Leonard's Church and headed north to Teddington Park Avenue with stops along the way, including at Bedford Park Public School , Bedford Park United Church and the site of the Bedford Park Theatre (later the Park). On Teddington Park Avenue we noted the homes of famous surgeons, businessmen and one of Canada's most famous athletes.
