Cabbagetown is a downtown Toronto neighbourhood that grew out of Don Vale, a rural village formed in the 1840s around the Winchester Street Bridge, then the main northern crossing of the Don River. Its name comes from the Irish immigrants who settled here during and after the famine years and, too poor to waste any ground, grew cabbages in their front yards. Most of its brick Victorian houses date to the 1880s and 1890s, built for workers at employers such as the Gooderham & Worts Distillery.

Decline followed through the interwar years, and by the late 1940s parts of the original Cabbagetown were razed for Regent Park. Residents pushed back: they founded the Cabbagetown Preservation Association in 1987, and the city has designated the residential blocks as Heritage Conservation Districts in stages since 2002, finishing with Cabbagetown Southwest in 2024. The Toronto Necropolis and Riverdale Park West sit along its eastern side.

The Cabbagetown tee is for the neighbours who saved these streets — and for anyone who still treats a front yard as a garden.
