Norway Post Office
A 1984 Toronto Historical Board plaque, located here at 320 Kingston Road, tells us a bit about the early settlement of Norway.
On this site, at 320 Kingston Road, stood the Norway Post Office. The building and a companion cottage at 322 Kingston Road were built about 1825 of board and batten construction. The settlement began with the establishment of the Norway steam saw mill, built in 1835. A toll gate, hotels and blacksmiths' shops followed as the community, known as Norway, grew. In 1866 its population reached 100 and the Post Office was opened with John E. Winnett as Postmaster. In 1907 the Norway Post Office was renamed Toronto Sub Office No. 4. Two years later the settlement was annexed to Toronto. The building ceased to be used as a post office in 1955 and was demolished on October 10, 1982.
