Rosedale

Rosedale Neighbourhood History

Sherrif William Botsford Jarvis and his wife Mary settled in Rosedale in the 1820s before Rosedale had its name. The community of Rosedale was given its name by Mary Jarvis, named in honour of the wild roses that grew along the hillside of the Jarvis estate. In 1864, the Jarvis family sold their Rosedale home which resulted in the subdivision and creation of South Rosedale. A bridge was built over the Park Drive Ravine in 1909. As a result, North Rosedale’s development began after the bridge was constructed. Prior to the development of North Rosedale, the area was once home to St. Andrews College and the Rosedale Golf Club.
