Stories of the evolution of Willowdale from its earliest acquisition of land to todayâs urban environment.
In 1855, Willowdaleâs post office opened in Jacob Cummerâs store on Yonge Street. Today, streets in Torontoâs 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 Kennedyâs intriguing stories embrace the evolution of Willowdale from the earliest acquisition of land to todayâs 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 Rocheâs 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.
