Toronto's First Post Office — Local services in Toronto

Smashing IT!

Historical Toronto Site.

Come and step into a history. The year is 1833, and the doors of this architecture marvel have opened its door to the public.

York. Muddy York, then finally it settled on its current name Toronto in 1834.

The bricks of this building stand to be witness to some of the city's most historical events.

From the Family Compact lead by Jarvis, to the Rebellion of 1837 lead by Toronto's First Mayor William McKenzie King, the Fireman Riot of 1837, Circus Riot of 1855, Printers Strike of 1872, the Jubilee Riots of 1875, Uprising & Upsets, the Types Riot of 1825...this building has seen it all.

Just imagine the historical figures who have walked through those doors to send a message to other prominent members of history.

Just imagine who else has laid their hands on items that have been preserved inside the historical site.

This is definitely a great sport for all history buffs and those who folks who really want to grasp what it felt like living in the early parts of the 1800s...

Many copies of early drawings of the city of York, with biographical notes of artists and people of influence of the era. Don't miss the amazing gift show with lovely stationary (and not only) items. a great place to get very unique presents or souvenirs. The museum is free and open 7 days a week (with exception...

While searching the internet to buy a roll of 100 stamps I discovered what I thought was a legitimate site, but it wasn't, it replicated Toronto's First Post Office where I proceeded to give my credit card. Week's later and they never arrived so I checked out their FB page where I discovered the TFPO posted about scammers posing as them duped people. They provided me with a letter to give to my credit card company and received a full refund. I sympathize with business these days, so difficult to make an honest living when there are so many people out there to scam you. Kudos to the honest companies and I am very thankful they helped me get...
