COMMUNITY
Yorkville News - 1881-1887
 Did you know that the original
version of the Yorkville
News was published 125 years ago from 1881 until
1887 when it was superceded by the Parkdale News? That's right
Parkdale, not Rosedale nor The Annex. The latter two communities
missed out. The paper was published weekly and was eventually known
as the West York Gazette.
