Eglinton West, also known as Little Jamaica,[1] is a neighbourhood and retail district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated along Eglinton Avenue West from Allen Road to Keele Street, in the former borough of York. There are a large number of Jamaican businesses along this strip. There are also businesses of other communities from the Caribbean. The businesses along Eglinton Avenue West are frequented by many in the Greater Toronto Area's 150,000-plus Jamaican community. The area overlaps the York-Eglinton Business Improvement Area which stretches from Marlee Avenue in the east, to Chamberlain Avenue in the West (just west of Dufferin Street).
