History
Established in the early 1900s, Moore Park is named after developer John Moore, who marketed the neighbourhood to many of Toronto’s affluent residents. To make the area more attractive to buyers, Moore built two bridges leading to the area, and established a railway service which connected the neighbourhood to the Toronto Belt Line Railway.
Moore Park was officially annexed by Toronto on December 16, 1912.
