In the heart of Aurora, Ontario, Catherine Avenue lies as a testament to the town's rich history. Aurora began as a small settlement on Yonge Street, drawing settlers who built businesses and homes around the bustling town core.
Charles Doan, the town’s first postmaster and later reeve had the street created and named it after his wife Catherine.
By the mid-1800s, the arrival of the first railway to operate north of Toronto and thriving industries like Fleury’s Agricultural Works cemented Aurora’s growth.
In 1863, Aurora was officially incorporated as a village, and in 1888, it became a town.
