L'Amoreaux, Toronto — Area Guide & Where to Stay
A Huguenot name on the map. L'Amoreaux takes it from Josue L'Amoreaux, a loyalist settler, and lies between Victoria Park Avenue and Kennedy Road.
About L'Amoreaux
Where to stay in L'Amoreaux
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Two arterials decide it. Beds inside L'Amoreaux are few, so the practical question is which side of the old Agincourt block a stay sits on: the Kennedy Road edge to the east, or the Victoria Park Avenue edge that faces the rest of Toronto. Huntingwood Drive draws the southern line.
McNicoll Avenue closes the north, and everything between those four roads was Scarborough ground until the amalgamation of 1998.
About L'Amoreaux
What are the main landmarks in L'Amoreaux?
The record names a person, not a building. Josue L'Amoreaux, a French Huguenot loyalist who settled here, left the neighbourhood its name and no monument to go with it. Streets carry the rest.
Kennedy Road on the east, Victoria Park Avenue on the west, McNicoll Avenue on the north and Huntingwood Drive on the south are the four fixed marks anyone navigating L'Amoreaux actually uses.
What is the history of L'Amoreaux?
Three municipal skins in two centuries. Josue L'Amoreaux, born in 1738 and dead in 1834, was a French Huguenot loyalist who settled the ground that carries his surname. Agincourt claimed it first.
The land formed part of that town before the amalgamation of municipalities made it a neighbourhood of the former city of Scarborough, and Scarborough in turn folded into Toronto with the amalgamation of 1998.
Where is L'Amoreaux?
Old Agincourt ground lies underneath. L'Amoreaux occupies the block east of Victoria Park Avenue and north of Huntingwood Drive, inside the former Scarborough.
