CABBAGE TOWN is one of oldest neighbourhoods in Toronto. The district
got its name from the original poor Irish immigrants who, in the 1840s,
fled the potato famine. They grew cabbages on their front lawns for
cheap and nutritious food.
Here, in 1830, cottages were built to accommodate the workers of Gooderham
and Worts Distillery. Twenty years later, the area still consisted
largely of cottages.
After 1860, larger houses were built, the styling being mostly Georgian
and Victorian, and later still, Gothic revival and Second Empire housing.
With its central location and as more and more fashionable people
began to purchase and renovate homes here, it slowly became a trendy
district. |
