MIMICO

In 1905, The Town of Mimico began as a Police Village.    It was granted some Independence from the township of Etobicoke.

In the early 19th century, Mimico began developing.  Recreational homes were built by families like the Loblaws and there are many stately homes that remain from this period. In addition there are lovely cottage style  bungalows and two-storey homes which sit on generously sized lots.

Home to beautiful parkland and lakeside trails, you’ll spot joggers, dog-walkers, cyclists, and families out for a stroll in this little commuter village by the lakeside. The neighbours watch out for each other’s kids at tiny waterside parkettes fount at the end of some streets.

In the 90's, new home developments and condos started to replace local industry the area’s seen a huge upswing in popularity.
