History

Humber Summit started off as a pioneer settlement in the 1840s. This region revolved around the Rowntree saw and grist mills which ran on the banks of the Humber River where Rowntree Mills Park is located today. A majority of Humber Summit's initial settlers are buried in the historic Pine Ridge Methodist Church Cemetery on Islington Avenue.

By the early 1900s, Humber Summit inhabitants had turned their attention to farming. Afterwards, in the 1940s, Humber Summit was changed into a popular summer resort known as Riverbank Park.

Riverbank Park was very well liked by Toronto residents who built cottages overlooking the Humber River. These cottages had been made into year round use by the time Hurricane Hazel struck in 1954. This was the worst hurricane in the history of Toronto and its deadly wrath wrecked havoc on the Humber Summit community as houses were swept away by the raging river.
