City Dairy Company Limited

City Dairy Company Limited was a dairy company founded by Walter Edward Massey, president of Massey-Harris, to deliver milk in the city of Toronto.[1][2] The company was the first Canadian dairy to supply pasteurized milk.[1]

The dairy was founded after Massey opened his Dentonia Park farm in 1897 and raised a herd of dairy cattle.[1] The dairy from these cows were sent to a dairy plant at 487 and 563 Spadina Crescent (see Borden Buildings). Massey died in 1901, but the dairy operations continued until it was sold to Borden in 1930 for $7 million. By 1915 City Dairy controlled 40 per cent of the milk market in Toronto.[3]
