Toronto History Part One : The Nineteenth Century
There is more to Toronto than you will ever learn by taking in the panorama from the CN Tower, or by checking out a Raptors game at the Air Canada Centre. Join our Historic Toronto tour, and learn all about the surprising origins of modern day Toronto.
Our emphasis is on the first century of Toronto history. This tour will introduce you to the facts that are unknown to many people who have lived here for decades. Invest ninety-minutes with us, and you will impress others by knowing the sometimes shocking tales of our old town district.
Today, the modern city of Toronto is a cosmopolitan centre for all of Canada. Culture, business, and entertainment flourish. We have the largest multicultural population of any city in the world. We have the third largest theatre district in the world. But Toronto has not always been such a model city. Murder, epidemic, invasion, revolution and disaster were all part of early Toronto. Travel back over 200 years in time, and discover the origins of our city. You will hear the amazing stories of a city that you only thought you knew.
The truth behind Historic Toronto will amaze you!!
