Indian Trail

Photo by Alan L Brown - Posted October, 2006

On this concrete cairn in the cemetery of St. Andrew's Church on the south side of St. Andrews Road between Brimley Road and McCowan Road is this plaque erected by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in 1957. It reads:

Coordinates: 43.760359 -79.252415

West of this point passed an Indian Trail leading to prehistoric Indian villages of which traces have been found. This was the trail by which David Thomson, the first white settler in Scarborough, came to the site upon which he built his house in 1796.
