Old Toronto, Historic district in downtown Toronto, Canada

The area contains numerous nineteenth-century structures, including warehouses converted into lofts, offices, and shops along Front, King, and Queen Streets.

Established on March 6, 1834, Old Toronto served as the central region of the city until its amalgamation with surrounding municipalities in 1998.

The St. Lawrence Market stands as a central gathering place where local vendors offer fresh produce, artisanal goods, and regional specialties.

Four public school boards operate in the district, while the Toronto Transit Commission provides transportation through streetcar and bus services.

The First Toronto Post Office, opened in 1833, remains operational next to George Brown College as a testament to municipal postal services.
