Yonge–Eglinton

Eglinton was a small farming village located at what is today the intersection of Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue in York County, Ontario, Canada. It was first settled in the early 19th century and became the agricultural hub for the area just north of the city of Toronto. During the early 19th century, the area was part of the largest cattle-grazing region in Upper Canada (now the southern region of Ontario). The region was the first in North America to extend the use of cowbells to all cattle in a herd. Prior to this, it had been standard practice for a cowbell to be attached only to the best and leading animal in a group of livestock. To honour this proud and storied heritage, the City of Toronto named a local street Cowbell Lane.The village was also an important stop on Yonge Street, the main road north from Toronto. One of the first settlers was John Montgomery, who founded a tavern catering to travelers. He likely named the village after the Earls of Eglinton, who had the family name Montgomerie and with whom he believed he had some connection. The name of the village would later be given to the east–west trail running through it, which would become Eglinton Avenue. In 1837 Montgomery's Tavern served as the base of William Lyon Mackenzie's rebels and was the site of the Battle of Montgomery's Tavern. A successful village of 700 people, the area's character changed in 1884 when the Metropolitan Street Railway began running a horse-drawn streetcar up Yonge Street to the village. Rapid housing development soon followed. As the population grew, the settlement was in 1890 incorporated with the smaller Davisville Village into the town of North Toronto. North Toronto was annexed to Toronto two decades later. Both Eglinton Avenue and Eglinton station (on Lines 1 and 5 of the Toronto subway system) are ultimately named after the village.

The Kitchen Library was the first non-profit lending library of kitchen appliances in Canada. Since opening its doors inside the Toronto Tool Library in October 2013, The Kitchen Library received local, national, and international media attention and community support. The Kitchen Library moved to Yonge and Eglinton (inside Living City Health) in October 2014 where they lent appliances and taught workshops. It closed September 1, 2016.As population increases and the average size of condos decrease, they believed that space and income shouldn't be barriers to cooking and healthy eating. By providing access to otherwise costly and space-consuming appliances they built a more shareable city for the future. In 2014 they were named by Canadian Living as one of the "7 Canadian inventions that make your life better," and were featured in Toronto Life, The Toronto Star, The National Post, and CBC News.
