The Scarborough Bluffs are a natural marvel that was created following the last ice age, over twelve thousand years ago. Archaeological evidence assembled in this area during the early 1900s reveals that the First Nations people had settlements along the Scarborough Bluffs dating back 10,000 years, making this one of the oldest colonized sites in Toronto.
The Toronto and York Radial Railway launched the sixty acre Scarborough Heights Park on the crest of the Bluffs in 1912. This park was established for business purposes by the railway in order to appeal to more passengers to their line.
