Explore 800 years of settlement in Scarborough - from a long-lost Iroquoian village, through the community that developed around the original Thomson farm to the suburban explosion after World War II.
In the 1800s, the area around Albion Road and Islington Ave was the site of a farming village called Thistletown. Discover the gems of an earlier time - 19th century farm buildings, early 20th century country homes, the first public park in Etobicoke and Toronto's last working farm - that lie hidden amongst the suburbs and strip malls of North Etobicoke.
