The Junction
-created by hayles
About
The Junction derives its name from two native trails which intersected in the area prior to European settlement. The name took on additional meaning later, as it was near the junction of four railway lines in the area known as the West Toronto Diamond. The neighbourhood was previously an independent village, town and city until amalgamating with Toronto in 1909. The main intersection of the area is that of Dundas Street West and Keele Street.
Today, the term "Junction" is generally applied to the area north of Annette, south of the Canadian Pacific Railway corridor, and between Runnymede Road and the Canadian National Railway corridor to the east. Historically, the boundary lines cover a considerably larger area.
