York Mills

York Mills is the name for the area around Yonge Street and York Mills Road in Toronto, Ontario.

The area is also known as 'Hogg's Hollow', named for James Hogg, a Scottish settler who settled in the area in 1824, by his sons John and William in 1856.

The area name is linked to saw and grist mills that dotted the Don River, which flows through York Mills. The Town of York Mills became part of the North York (now the City of Toronto).
