Mount Pleasant

While Yonge and Bayview serve as the north/south running perimeters of the Davisville neighbourhood, Mount Pleasant Road runs right through the middle of the area and has its own unique history. Before Mount Pleasant Road came Mount Pleasant Cemetery. In 1873, a 200-acre farm east of Yonge Street and north of the small community of Deer Park was purchased for $20,000. Named Mount Pleasant Cemetery, it officially opened to the public in 1876, and its innovative ‘landscape style’ design and 19km of winding roadways made it an attraction in its own right. “Mount Pleasant is a quirky — but pleasant — throwback to a different era”: as per The Toronto Star.
