Taking the Land to Make A Neighbourhood - A History of Brockton Village

Eric Sehr

e’ll explore 100 years of Brockton’s history, beginning with settler colonialism to about 1885 to follow a story of how the land was taken, shaped, worked, serviced and finally developed into place that today wouldn’t be completely unfamiliar to someone who walked Brockton’s streets in 1900.



If you're curious about life on the edge of 19th century Toronto, interested in learning about the institutions, processes, and people that made one of Toronto's earliest suburbs, this walk is for you.
