Neighbourhoods » Governor's Bridge, Toronto

Governor's Bridge is a bridge and small neighbourhood in Toronto located to the east of Rosedale and Moore Park, and like them is one of the most expensive in Toronto. The neighbourhood is named for the Governor's Bridge that crosses the Moore Park Ravine and connects the area to Rosedale.

It is a very small neighbourhood with only a couple of hundred Governor's Bridge homes. The area was originally purchased and subdivided in 1911 by two prominent Toronto lawyers: William Douglas and Wallace Nesbitt. Each has a street in the neighbourhood named after him. Construction had to wait until the construction of Governor's Bridge in 1923 connected the area to the rest of the city. The bridge was named in honour of the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario whose home Chorley Park was located just south of the bridge. The west part of the neighbourhood was quickly built up during the Roaring Twenties boom period, and most Governor's Bridge real estate dates from this era.
