If you travel south-west of downtown Toronto along the lake, you will find Mimico sitting right on the edge of Etobicoke. It's known as the oldest of the former Lakeshore Municipalities. According to the Etobicoke Historical Society, Mimico began developing thanks to native-born Canadian John William Gamble and the Parish of Christ Church. In 1855, the railway line was built going right through Mimico. The creation of the railway opened Mimico up to new residents, who realized they no longer needed to live close to their work. The neighbourhood saw an influx of working men moving into homes near the railway. In 1858, Mimico celebrated the establishment of a post office. In 1905, Mimico became a police village, meaning it had a degree of independence while remaining a part of the township. A huge change came to Mimico in 1906 with the Grand Trunk Railway opened its Mimico Yards. In 1917, Mimico became an independent municipality and remained that way until it became a part of the borough of Etobicoke in 1967, and was then amalgamated into the city of Toronto in 1998."
