NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Scarborough, Ontario

Scarborough is the area that forms the eastern part of the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was a separate city for over 200 years, but has been part of the 'East District' of Toronto since 1998. The Scarborough name is still used by most local residents, and is recognized by Canada Post as a municipality name. Scarborough has characteristics of a suburb of old Toronto, but retains much of its own character and flavour. Certain neighbourhoods in Scarborough are popular destinations for new immigrants to Canada, who bring part of their own culture to that of Scarborough. Because of the topography of the Bluffs, the Rouge Valley and the other creeks and many minor tributaries, Scarborough is said to be the greenest and leafiest part of Toronto. ^[1] Image File history File links Flag_of_Scarborough,_Ontario. ...

History

Naming

The area was named after Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England by Elizabeth Simcoe, the wife of John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada. The bluffs along Scarborough's Lake Ontario shores reminded her of the limestone cliffs in Scarborough, England. On August 4, 1793, she wrote in her diary, "The shore is extremely bold, and has the appearance of chalk cliffs, but I believe they are only white sand. They appeared so well that we talked of building a summer residence there and calling it Scarborough."^[2] Image File history File links Size of this preview: 450 Ã— 600 pixels Full resolution (697 Ã— 929 pixel, file size: 135 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg) This is a picture clicked by me of the Scarborough Bluffs in August 2006. ...

The expansion of Toronto in the west in the 19th century lead to the development of housing stock along the Kingston Road and Danforth Road corridors in Scarborough.

A significant portion of Scarborough's population is composed of immigrants who have arrived in the last four decades. Fifty-four percent of residents are foreign born.^[9] Chinese residents make up 17.73% of the population, South Asian residents accounted for just under 18% of the population, Black Canadian residents make up 10.09% of the population, while Filipino Canadian residents account for 5%. The remaining visible minority groups each represent less than 2% of the population. The immigrant population has created vibrant multicultural locales in various areas of Scarborough. One of the more notable among these is the heavy concentration of Chinese businesses and restaurants in the Agincourt neighbourhood. There are also notable locales that are heavily populated by immigrants from the Sub-Continant (India/Pakistan). Many of Scarborough's main arteries, including segments of Kingston Road, Eglinton Avenue East and Lawrence Avenue East, feature Caribbean, Chinese and Halal restaurants and shops, as well as businesses representing the other ethnic groups in the area.

Scarborough is home to an earthen cliff formation known as the Scarborough Bluffs. The Bluffs can be found along the shore of Lake Ontario, stretching about 14 km, and reaching heights of more than 60 m in places. They are part of a much larger formation known as the Iroquois Shoreline, most of which is located somewhat further inland. The Iroquois Shoreline marks the extent of a prehistoric lake, Glacial Lake Iroquois, whose level was quite a bit higher than present-day Lake Ontario's.

Erosion has been a problem along the Scarborough Bluffs. Some properties located near the brink have been abandoned, and some houses condemned, as the brink wears back away from the lake. The erosion process was accelerated by the 19th century ship-based removal of aggregates (stone-hooking) from the beaches at the base of the Bluffs for construction in Toronto. The removal of this material allowed wave action to directly scour the base of the Bluffs in many sections. Since the 1980s, large areas of beach at the base of the Bluffs have been reinforced with limestone breakwaters and construction rubble infilling.
