About Dufferin Grove
Where to stay in Dufferin Grove
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Two street edges set the choice. College Street runs the southern boundary of Dufferin Grove and carries College Street Baptist Church, while Bloor Street West closes the north and takes the main east-west traffic of this part of Toronto. Ossington Ave holds the eastern line.
Dufferin Street draws the western one, and the ground between the four is small enough that a bed anywhere inside it puts the Koffler Centre of the Arts within a walk.

Churches carry the district. St. Anne's Anglican Church stands within the bounds. Saint Michael the Archangel Serbian Orthodox Church and College Street Baptist Church are two more of the named church buildings recorded here, and the Koffler Centre of the Arts brings an arts venue to the same small grid of blocks.
Dufferin Grove's Church of St. Mary Magdalene belongs to the same set, as does The Elephant House.
What is the history of Dufferin Grove?
Buildings stand in for the record. No founding year is recorded for Dufferin Grove, and the neighbourhood's older layer shows instead in its churches and in the four streets that have long fixed its outline. College Street Baptist Church names its own street.
Saint Michael the Archangel Serbian Orthodox Church carries a Serbian Orthodox dedication west of downtown Toronto, while the Koffler Centre of the Arts sits among them as a cultural rather than a religious address.
