Living in Toronto
Greektown & Withrow Park
About GreektownIn 1907, there were just 20 Greek names in Toronto’s city directory. Over the years, immigrants came from Greece mainly to work in agriculture or in Northern Ontario’s mines, forests, and railways. The population gradually grew in Toronto, particularly after the Second World War. In the 1950s, the Greek community moved into the Danforth area, which was originally a neighbourhood for Anglo-Saxons, and later an Italian enclave. Toronto’s Greek population is the second largest outside of Greece; the largest resides in the borough of Queens in New York.
