Coxwell Ave, Gerrard St. Pape Ave, Ossington Ave, Balliol St. You could also describe how certain neighbourhoods got their names (the non-obvious ones). Keep up the good work, Morgan.

Three neighborhoods I'd love to learn about. Don mills. East York and the beaches.. but I enjoy every segment you post, that's the truth
Those choices are all unique and significant in some way

Cummer named after Jacob Cummer (originally spelled Kummer, likely German origins), an early settler. There is still a family graveyard on Yonge St. near Church.

I would love to know the history behind Baby Point (pronounced bahby) in Bloor West Village, as well as streets like Strachan and Queens Quay. There is so much history in this town and I love learning all about it.

You say Yonge was named by Lt-Gov John Simcoe after George Yonge - so far, so good. But you say it was named in 1847. Tricky, since Simcoe died in 1806, and Yonge in 1812. Apparently it was named in 1793, during Simcoe’s service in then-Upper Canada

Sheppard Ave., like many streets in North York, is named after early settlers and landowners of the area. In some of the newer neighbourhoods, developers named streets after their kids!

Naming a street means assigning a legal name to the street. This is the name used for addressing and emergency response identification. Renaming a street means changing the existing legal name of the street. To rename a street, 75% of residents surrounding the street must provide support through a petition, letter, or email. City Council may waive this requirement if the criteria in Section 8.1 of the Street Naming Policy (opens in new window) have been met - meaning if the current legal name of the street is problematic. Ceremonial naming assigns a secondary name to a street that already has a legal name. Ceremonial names are symbolic and usually honour a person, event or organization. Such names do not replace the legal name of the street. Where is the Paperwork for DUndas Square, noonw in the world is perfect and stayuing with the name is a reminder instead of erasing history.
