About Us
We acknowledge the land we are on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Etobicoke is covered by Treaty 13 (also known as the Toronto Purchase) with the Mississaugas of the Credit.
The Etobicoke Historical Society was formed in May 1958 as an answer to a growing concern among Etobicoke citizens about the rapidly changing character of what was then the Township of Etobicoke, and the need to preserve our early history. With a rich history, the Etobicoke Historical Society has grown to become the leading organization dedicated to the preservation of Etobicoke's heritage assets and community education. With a growing and loyal membership, our many special projects and events, as well as our annual awards of merit; the Etobicoke Historical Society is dedicated to the community we serve.
