The area's name comes from Casa Loma, a Gothic Revival mansion in the neighbourhood. The mansion was completed in 1914.
Casa Loma was constructed in the early 1900s for over three million dollars and was given to the city by its heavily debt-laden owner only a decade after it was put up.
The prominence of the mansion led to a huge boom in the area, with many wealthy residents setting up shop and defining the present neighbourhood.
