Willowdale: Yesterday's Farms, Today's Legacy

Willowdale: Yesterday's Farms, Today's Legacy

Stories of the evolution of Willowdale from its earliest acquisition of land to todayâ€™s urban environment.

In 1855, Willowdaleâ€™s post office opened in Jacob Cummerâ€™s store on Yonge Street. Today, streets in Torontoâ€™s community of Willowdale are peppered with the names of the early farm families of North York, such as the Shepards, Finches, and Kennedys.

Author Scott Kennedyâ€™s intriguing stories embrace the evolution of Willowdale from the earliest acquisition of land to todayâ€™s urban environment. You will read about combat training for the ill-fated Rebellion of 1837 that took place in the community fields; about Mazo de la Rocheâ€™s estate, Windrush Hills, which stood at Bayview and Steeles, and is a Zorastrian temple today; about the Kingsdale Jersey Farm, which was located on Bayview until 1972; and about Green Meadows, the estate of "Bud" McDougald, which was the last operating farm in North York.
