History
The area is part of historic Hoggs Hollow where the first settler arrived in 1794. Originally it was called York Mills Village due to the development of the area around three mills. At the beginning of the 20th century, the valley began to develop a more residential nature. Surrounded by tall trees, steep hills and parkland, Hoggs Hollow has become one of Toronto's prime residential areas, with a little more commercial development in recent years.
