[1884, 1894, 1903, 1913, 1924] Goad: Atlas of the City of Toronto, Plate 20

This remarkable series of five maps chronicles the growth of the CNE over four decades. In that time it expanded to fill all the adjacent land and to surround the New Fort (Stanley Barracks) completely. One is struck by the lack of a formal plan for the fairground, except to fill every corner of its site.
