Bathurst Street has been the centre of the Jewish community in Toronto for many years. In the beginning of the 20th Century, a lot of Jews lived around Bathurst Street south of Bloor Street. After the Second World War, while the community became financially stronger, it migrated north along Bathurst Street with more affluent members of the district transferring to Forest Hill. Today a large amount of the Jewish society, houses of worship and cultural centres exist along the Bathurst corridor.
With time, the community persisted in travelling north to the area project developers called Bathurst Manor.
