Saturday, 24 June 2023 - In the 1850’s, the area now known as Bloor West Village was the property of Lieutenant Colonel William Smith Durie, the first commanding officer of the Queens Own Rifles. The neighbourhood began to be developed in 1909 when it became part of the City of Toronto. Bloor West Village’s first residents were immigrants of Eastern European background; they helped found the Bloor West Village Business Improvement Area, the first of its kind in Canada. The shopping district has helped make Bloor West Village one of Toronto’s most popular neighbourhoods.
