Yonge and eglinton history
-->
In the late 1800's
and early 1900's, what is now the Yonge and Eglinton area was
primarily used for farming. The area was incorporated and called
North Toronto in 1890. The geography of the area meant fertile land
for cattle grazing, It was within the largest cattle grazing region
in Upper Canada (which is now called Southern Ontario). House
development began in the 1890's when the Metropolitan Street Railway
made Eglinton Avenue at Yonge Street its most northern stop from
downtown Toronto. By the early 1900's residents in the area became frustrated with the poor municipal services and the town joined
Toronto on December 15, 1912. By the 1940's the Yonge and Eglinton
had become completely a residential area developed with housing
leaving no more farm land.
