Old Toronto

 
Toronto movers guide information No 1 about Old Toronto: The Old Toronto is the name that refers to the old city of Toronto, and its boundaries in the period from the 1967-1997 year.  It is now the downtown of larger Toronto unity, in boundaries of Toronto as known today.
This district is also known as the south district or central district. Being that old town used to be known as the city of fashion, it is also called The fashion district today. There were three city wards named after protectors of all three British nations St. George (English protector), St. Andrew (Scotish protector), and St. David (protector of Wales), but today these names exist only as subway stops.
For geographical use, Old Toronto is divided into four subdistricts: Downtown Core, East end, North End and West End. We will divide neighbourhoods also by these four sub-districts, so the Toronto movers guide would give you the exact information of every little segment of Old Toronto, and by that enable you to make a wise decision about where to move to in Toronto.
