Earlscourt, Toronto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earlscourt, Toronto, Canada was a squatter settlement in the early 20th century. Poor British and Scottish immigrants settled here. During World War I, the area had some of the highest enlistment rates in the British Empire. Several of the original settler shacks are still visible in the area.
Earlscourt was centred on St. Clair Avenue West, with Dufferin Street, Davenport Road, and Old Weston Road forming its boundaries (see Toronto Neighbourhoods; Earlscourt). Currently the community is divided into Corso Italia (east of Lansdowne Ave.) and St. Clair Gardens (west of Caledonia Park Ave.) (see Toronto Neighbourhoods).
