Toronto Blogs Toronto is arguably one of the most interesting places in the world.

Its history is so rich and extensive that there's always some fact about the city that takes people by surprise.

Known as "Hollywood North", Toronto is the third largest TV and film production centre in North America.
Chicago, X-Men, Hairspray, Cinderella Man, Total Recall, The Incredible Hulk, Good Will Hunting, Blues Brothers 2000, The Hurricane, Police Academy, The Skulls and Cocktail, are just some of the many major feature films that have been produced in the city.

One of the busiest location sites is The Distillery Historic District, originally the Gooderham & Worts Distillery. With 40 buildings spread over 13 acres, this was once the largest distillery in the British Empire. It ceased operation in 1990 after 135 years, and since then has served a location for more than 800 films and TV shows.

Who doesn’t love heading to the islands on a hot day? But once upon a time, they weren’t islands at all. Yup, this Toronto tourist staple used to be attached to the Scarborough Bluffs. And they certainly weren’t quite the popping place back then. Lake Ontario currents separated the land and formed the islands we know today!

Yup, we’re talking about Casa Loma, baby. This tourist staple is extra special cause it’s the only one in the continent! No other North American city has a real full-size castle. What can we say? We like to feel like royalty in our city.

More neat facts about Casa Loma... When it was constructed it was North America’s largest private residence, and it had so many telephones (59) that the castle’s switchboard operator handled more calls than the operator for the entire City of Toronto!

Where: Casa Loma, 1 Austen Terrace, near the corner of Davenport Rd and Spadina Ave

YORKVILLE WAS ONCE A CEMETERY

If you’ve stopped by this high-end area of Toronto recently, this weird fact might be hard to believe. What is now one of the boujiest shopping spots of the city used to be a cemetery! It was in the 1850s, so it was a pretty long time ago. But still, that’s pretty spooky! And the eeriest part? Apparently, during construction bodies are still known to show up today. Yup. Sorry if we just ruined your next shopping trip there…

Where: Yorkville, Toronto


TORONTO PARTICIPATES IN THE MOST MAJOR SPORTS LEAGUES

Out of all the Canadian cities, Toronto is the most athletic. How do we know? Well, Toronto is the only Canadian city that participates in the 7 major sports leagues. These include Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, Canadian Football League, National Lacrosse League, Major League Soccer, and American Hockey League. Go Toronto go!


YOU CAN TOUR THE TORONTO SEWAGE SYSTEM

Okay, this might seem gross but it’s actually kinda cool. Underneath Toronto lies a network of wide, well-planned, and elaborate tunnels that seriously look like they’re right out of a movie. And you can take a tour of them! You’ll feel like Harry Potter searching for the Chamber of Secrets when you’re down there.
