HISTORY

Yorkville was incorporated as a Village in 1853 and named after Toronto’s original handle, the Town of York. In 1883, Yorkville set itself up as a trend setter when it became the first village to be annexed by the City of Toronto. Yorkville has always maintained its own identity and gained the most notoriety as a hippie haven in the 1960s before becoming known as a high-end shopping destination in the 1980s and 1990s.
