About Swansea
Swansea is one of Toronto's finest neighborhoods. Swansea had been founded and built in 1926. However, Swansea had been first discovered in 1615 by Etienne Brule, whose name can still be found today in the historic Brule Gardens. Swansea had been named by John Worthington, who had named it after the village of Swansea in Wales, United Kingdom, for its' similar topography of rolling landscapes, twisting roads, and many lush trees that highlight the fairy-tale homes that form this enchanting neighborhood. Swansea is the only Toronto neighborhood to have a river, lake, and pond as its' natural boundaries. Swansea boasts some of Toronto's best shopping and dining destinations, the best schools in Toronto West, and quick travel times to the downtown core and the airport, via car or public transit.
Swansea geographically represents north of Lake Shore Boulevard, south of Bloor Street West, east of the Humber River, and west of High Park.
