The City of Vaughan’s archives house more than 600 collections dating from the early 1700s to the present day. Within these files are the stories of how Vaughan evolved from the traditional territories of the First Peoples of Turtle Island to the bustling city it has become.

The City of Vaughan is building the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) into a destination of choice. As the area continues to experience significant growth, plans are underway to guide its transformation into a downtown core with plenty of transportation connections, housing options, retail uses, public amenities and so much more. Our efforts include ensuring the VMC’s infrastructure – such as storm sewers, stormwater ponds and more – remain functional, effective and safe for the growing community.
