Sherbrooke dates to the City's earliest land boom in 1906. Sherbrooke was one of the first in North America to be designed using the "neighbourhood" concept, which discourages traffic and is highlighted by attractive curving streets.
Explore how Sherbrooke fits on the map: the gold fill is the boundary in effect for the selected time period, dashed outlines show every earlier superseded shape from prior eras, red pins are linked structures built in that era, and purple pins are sites. Use the time period buttons below the map to explore the neighbourhood over time. Boundary history is documented in Stories.
In the 1950s, Sherbrooke was cited by the American Society of Planning Officials as a model of good design.
