History

In the early 1800s, Etobicoke and the surrounding vicinity was an agricultural settlement. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the land, along with what would become Georgetown, was purchased by the head of the local department store, Timothy Eaton, in order to provide milk, eggs, and other products for the lunchroom at the department store. The Eatons continued to use the land in this area for farmland, when the land was repurposed for housing developments.

One of the area’s first residents was Peter Shaver, who owned property at Bloor Street. His home, “Applewood House” was preserved and relocated from its original location to Etobicoke West Mall. It is now a museum and community meeting centre.
