Yorkville Real Estate
Yorkville was subdivided in the 1830's, by a prominent brewer named
Joseph Bloor, and by Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis who also founded
the Rosedale neighbourhood. Yorkville was named after the Town of
York, the forerunner to the City of Toronto. Yorkville was incorporated
as a Village in 1853. In 1883, Yorkville had the distinction of
being the first village annexed by the City of Toronto. It had gained
notoriety first as a hippie haven in the 1960's, and then became
known as a shopping mecca in the 1980's and 1990's. It is also known
for its many high end art galleries. |
