Cabbagetown Toronto Real Estate
Cabbagetown's history began in the 1840's when thousands of Irish immigrants settled here after fleeing the potato famine in their homeland. To put food on the table they grew cabbages on their front lawns, which is how this district came to be known as Cabbagetown. The neighbourhood flag, a green cabbage on a white background, can be seen flying, usually bestowed on a home or shop owner for architectural or design excellence.
Cabbagetown was revitalized in the 1970's and 1980's by new home buyers, who restored much of the neighbourhood's fine collection of Victorian homes.
