History

St. Lawrence Market has been a central part of Toronto’s history for over two centuries. Dating back to the early 1800s, the market began as a gathering place where local farmers and merchants sold their goods to the growing town of York. Over time, it became a key hub for trade, community, and daily life in the city. The market buildings have evolved through several reconstructions, reflecting Toronto’s growth while preserving its historic character. Today, St. Lawrence Market remains a symbol of the city’s heritage, connecting modern Toronto with its past through food, tradition, and community.
