From the Archives

The City of Vaughan’s archives house more than 600 collections dating from the early 1700s to the present day. Within these files are the stories of how Vaughan evolved from the traditional territories of the First Peoples of Turtle Island to the bustling city it has become. 

 

Let’s look back at our history and share the stories of the people, places and moments that helped shape the city we know today. This month’s feature is on the Cober family.
