History
The Bridle Path was initially developed in 1827, and was mostly used as farmland up to the early 1900s. The construction of Bayview Bridge in 1929 made the area more accessible from Toronto, helping it transition into the luxurious community it is known as today.
The neighbourhood of Bridle Path takes its name from the winding network of equestrian bridle paths used by its early estate owners, who were mostly horse-owners. While most of those original paths are now paved over, the area’s current layout still retains wide, tree-lined avenues marked by lush greenery, providing a window to its past.
