Thistletown

Step back in time and explore one of Etobicoke's most storied corners, where Scottish settler John Grubb laid the groundwork for the area's very first subdivision back in 1847. Wander the streets of Thistletown and feel the quiet weight of history beneath a modern neighbourhood. It's a surprisingly rewarding detour for anyone curious about how Toronto's outer boroughs came to be — no museum required. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
