    Seaton Village

    Overview

    Seaton Village is a beautiful Toronto neighbourhood that is centrally located and very family oriented. Somehow, this area has managed to keep its small town feel despite benign situated in a bustling part of the city. Vermont Square is a city park and one of the main attractions in this neighbourhood. It is home to the St. Alban’s Boys’ and Girls’ Club which is a community agency that offers children and families many different social and recreational programs. 

    History

    This Toronto neighbourhood was first settled by Colonel David Shank and Captain Samuel Smith. The men were both loyalists who served under John Graves Simcoe in the Queen’s Rangers. During the 1800’s George Crookshank purchased the Shank and Smith farm lots. This was the beginning of the Crookshank estate which started on Bathurst Street overlooking the lake.

    The Crookshank house ran north to his country farm where Seaton Village resides today. This laneway is now part of Bathurst Street. Seaton Village was named after a former Lieutenant Governor of Canada, Lord Seaton. Residential development in this area began around 1888  when Seaton Village was annexed by the City of Toronto
