Thistletown is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Thistletown is also a part of the Rexdale community. Rexdale is the northern part of Etobicoke. It comprises the area surrounding the intersection of Albion Road and Islington Avenue in the former City of Etobicoke. Etobicoke merged with five other municipalities and a regional government to form the new "City of Toronto" in 1998.
The borders of Thistletown are the Humber River West Branch to the south, beyond the Humber River to the east, up to the Thistletown Hospital which has been located just above the Humber River to the north of town. Whether it be the Rowntree's for whom Rowntree Park along the Humber River by the hospital is named, or Barker Hill named after the Barker's, there is much history in the area. There is the Franklin Carmichael Art Centre at 34 Riverdale Drive of the Group of Seven (artists) fame.
This area has seen many changes and many ethnic groups arrive and flourish. Presently the corners of Albion and Islington in Thistletown has a large presence of East Indian stores and services. They are joined by a variety of Caribbean/West Indian, Indian, Sri Lankan, and Pakistani stores.
