Corktown Toronto Neighbourhood Shopping

Corktown Toronto is often overlooked due to its proximity to Regent Park.

But this historic downtown district is home to architectural firms, fancy furniture shops and even a boutique or two.

It is one of Toronto's oldest neighbourhoods, named because of the majority of the original residents were from County Cork in Ireland or so the story goes.

Home to the original Upper Canada Parliament Buildings that were torched during the war of 1812, Corktown is also home to historic monuments that are still standing like the first free school in Toronto (Enoch Turner School), the oldest church (Little Trinity), the first Roman Catholic church and part of the Underground Railroad (Dominion Hotel).
