The Development Of Toronto

This course explores the history of Toronto from the earliest times to the present. As the current largest city in Canada, Toronto offers insights into the complicated history of urbanization in North America. Students in this course will explore the history of the city from its Aboriginal origins to its resettlement by European peoples to its subsequent industrial development. This research seminar will offer students the opportunity to conduct original primary source research on the history of Toronto and make use of local archives, including the City of Toronto Archives and the Archives of Ontario. This course also involves several field trips throughout the city.
