Lytton Park originally started out as a rural suburb of Toronto, part of North Toronto.
In 1886, the Metropolitan Street Railway (Toronto) decided to service this small area.
Upon realizing that the land value in this region would go up when the railway was installed, the Railway company purchased a huge amount of farmland near their railway station on Glengrove Avenue.
Two years later, the residential `boom` of this neighbourhood started.
In 1912, the district was annexed into the City of Toronto.
From then on, this area morphed into what it is today, with its many schools, parks, and shops.
