The population in Toronto grew very fast. By the 1812 it had more than 700 residents. Many new buildings were built, including inns and hotels, military houses and a jail! They had to build a jail ; this reminds me of the cowboy movies - 2 blocks of houses, a pub and a jail...Anyway it is interesting to know how one of the biggest cities in North America was founded!
well colonists from the UK first settled at fort edmonton, meti communities settled around st.albert in the 1860s i believe after confederation, but the aboriginals were the first there .. although difficult to define 'settle'
