Description

The post office for the village of Norway stood here for more than 125 years. It was built around 1825 during the early colonization of Indigenous lands by European settlers. The wood building and its adjoining cottage were located on Kingston Road, which linked Toronto with towns to the east. The village it served was named for the Norway pines that were common in this area. A steam sawmill opened in 1835, and Norway grew. Its population reached 100 in 1866, the year the village post office opened with John E. Winnett as postmaster. Norway became part of Toronto in 1909, and the post office remained open until 1955. The building was demolished in 1982 and replaced with housing.
