WILLOWDALE is a neighbourhood in the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in the North York City area. It developed from three postal villages: Newtonbrook, Willowdale, and Lansing.

Originally settled by Jacob Cummer, who immigrated to Canada from the United States in 1797. Cummer was a mill owner on the nearby Don River, a proprietor of a tinsmith shop on Yonge Street and a self trained doctor and veterinarian. This area was originally known as Kummer's Settlement.

Canadian rock band Rush formed in August 1968, in Willowdale! The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. Enjoy a little Canadiana…
