Toronto's Italian community

Dufferin Street has long been an important thoroughfare for Toronto's Italian community. An Italian neighborhood developed around Dufferin and Davenport in the 1890s and soon became known as "little Little Italy". In the 1950s, Italian Canadians from the main Little Italy around College Street and Grace Street headed northwest up Dufferin past St. Clair Avenue and were joined by a new wave of immigrants from Italy. By the 1960s, the Dufferin-St. Clair area (known as "Corso Italia") had supplanted College-Grace Little Italy as the center of Toronto's Italian community. Since the 1960s, Toronto Italians have continued to disperse throughout the Greater Toronto Area and many gradually moved north along Dufferin Street into Downsview and eventually to Woodbridge, and other Toronto suburbs.
