BROCKTON VILLAGE

'Brockton Village' was a village located to the west of the City of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, annexed in 1884. This location is now fairly central in the current city of Toronto. It encompassed the area from Bloor Street on the north, Dufferin Street on the east, High Park on the west and ranged from Queen Street, along Roncesvalles, Wright Avenue and Dundas Streets to the south.
The former town hall still exists, converted to commercial usage, and is located at the south-west corner of Dundas Street West and Brock Street. The area has many residents of Portguese and more recently Brazilian backgrounds.
Before an influx of significant population in the 1870s, it formed the northern section of the large estate owned by Colonel Walter O'Hara.
'Faces From the Past'

A major hub of activity in Brockton Village today is McCormick Park, home to McCormick Recreation Centre and Arena. This area has long been a focal point for youth living in the area.

In October of 2006, a contest was held to determine the cutest cat in Brockton Village. Ultimately, a cat named "Misty" who lives on Shirley Street won by a slim margin. The Brockton neighbours continue to live in relative peace.
