The neighbourhood
The Village of Islington business improvement area takes in the businesses and commercial property owners on Dundas Street West between Montgomery Road and Kipling Avenue. It was created by a 1986 bylaw of the former City of Etobicoke, and it's a non-profit that also serves as an agency of the City of Toronto.
Islington Village quickly grew into the hub of a road network, and once the Credit Valley Railway opened in 1877, commuters could reach Toronto by train in 25 minutes. The building at 4946 Dundas still carries stone inserts reading "Etobicoke Municipal Offices" and "Police", and it's housed the Fox & Fiddle restaurant since 2000.
