How Toronto’s own city farms were crowded out. First settled in
the early nineteenth century, the area now known as Don Mills
retained its rural character until the end of the Second World War.
After the war, population growth resulted in pressure to develop
the area around Toronto and, in a relatively short time, the
landscape of Don Mills was irreparably altered. Today, the farms
are all gone, as are almost all of the barns and farmhouses. Fields
and forests have been replaced by the industries, homes, and shops
of Canada’s “first subdivision.” In Don Mills: From Forests
and Farms to Forces of Change, author Scott Kennedy remembers Don
Mills as it was and takes great care to make sure that the farms
and farmers are not forgotten.
