Thomas Fisher (March 3, 1792 – July 23, 1874)[1] was a road builder, land developer, Squire, and Etobicoke Township pioneer.
He settled along the Humber River in 1822 and became a successful merchant-miller.
[3] The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and the University Archives didn't have a permanent home until 1973 when the Thomas Fisher Rare Book library was opened.
Great-grandsons, Sidney and Charles Fisher, donated to the library their own collections of Shakespeare, various twentieth-century authors, and etchings of Wenceslaus Hollar.
Fisher was an inductee into the Etobicoke Hall of Fame, 1974.
