The Cabbagetown neighbourhood is located on the east side of downtown Toronto. It's known for having the largest continuous area of preserved Victorian housing in North America.

Cabbagetown's name derives from the Irish immigrants who moved to the neighbourhood beginning in the late 1840s, said to have been so poor that they grew cabbage in their front yards.

Cabbagetown began being gentrified in the 1970s, when residents began restoring small Victorian row houses. Today, wrought iron fences, stone walkways and beautifully kept gardens are common.

A Victorian farm, once the site of a zoo, is located adjacent to Riverdale Park West, where a weekly farmer's market is held.
