The community is the eastern half of what was earlier known as Earlscourt . Earlscourt was originally settled by British immigrants in 1906, and was annexed by the City of Toronto in 1910. (See Toronto Neighbourhoods; Earlscourt .) During the late 1950's a large wave of Italian immigrants, in addition to Italians from College Street, moved to Earlscourt and the surrounding area. Corso Italia has been a Business Improvement Area (BIA) in Toronto since 1984. Corso Italia hosts several annual festivals, including the Corso Italia Toronto Fiesta in July.
