Indian Trail

On this concrete cairn in the cemetery of St. Andrew's Church on the south side of St. Andrews Road between Brimley Road and McCowan Road is this plaque erected by the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority in 1957. It reads:

Plaque coordinates: 43.760359 -79.252415

West of this point passed an Indian Trail leading to prehistoric Indian villages of which traces have been found. This was the trail by which David Thomson, the first white settler in Scarborough, came to the site upon which he built his house in 1796.
