Swansea, Ontario
Swansea was a village which in 1967 was annexed by Toronto. Its boundaries were the Humber River to the west, High Park to the east, Bloor Street to the north, and to the south the CN railway tracks near the shore of Lake Ontario. Its roots date back to the seventeenth century, when Jean Baptiste Rousseau established a trading post in the area in 1670. The origins of the name are unclear, although the neighbourhood is also known, somewhat inaccurately, as the Bloor West Village today.
