OLD WORLD TORONTO, Fort York, Iroquois / Huron, 1812 destruction / rebuild, Oldest Photographs

Howdy ya’ll. One of my favorite videos I made previously was on Ottawa, Canada. I learned a lot in making that video, and even more from the comments on the video. In today’s video we will highlight the Old World City of Toronto, Canada as the next video in my Old World Series of videos.

I have collected throughout the past few months, roughly 275 images of Old World Toronto which I would like to present with you, alongside a brief rundown of the current narrative history of this beautiful region. This will be part one of a two part series focused on Toronto. Part one will focus mainly on the early history, pre-photography, while mixing in some of the earliest photographs I could find.

Part two, which should also be posted today, will focus on the epic Great Fire of 1904 in Toronto and some of the rarest, and downright scariest, Old World images I have seen yet. So sit back, relax, and please enjoy Part One in this series on Toronto, and let me know your thoughts and ideas in the comment section down below.
