The Village of Yorkville Commemorative plaque, 1975.

Description

The coat of arms above is from the Yorkville Town Hall built on Yonge Street in 1859. It contains symbols representing the occupations of the first councillors: John Severn, brewer; Thomas Atkinson, brickmaker; Reeve James Dobson, carpenter; James Wallis, blacksmith; and Peter Hutty, butcher. Established in the 1830s by William Jarvis and Joseph Bloor, Yorkville was incorporated as a village in 1853 and annexed to Toronto in 1883. This fire hall was begun in 1876 and restored in 1974.
