Canada, Toronto Heritage Historical Markers

Following millenia of Indigenous presence, trade routes and villages in the area, and French presence for the fur trade in the 17th and 18th centuries, York (later renamed Toronto) was established as a British settlement in 1793. This series INCLUDES markers erected by the City of Toronto and its agencies (such as Heritage Toronto), that describe Toronto's historical heritage. EXCLUDED are those terse plaques that merely describe that a property has been designated under the Ontario Heritage Act.
