Lakeview was a lakeside community rather than a village in Toronto Township between Long Branch and Port Credit. Much of the lakeshore property was taken by the government, first for a rifle range towards Lake Ontario. This was to support the Canadian Small Arms war factory on the west side of Lang Branch. There was also an areodrome as well as an armoury on Cawthra Road at the CNR Railway line. In the late 1950's Ontario Hydro built a large coal fired hydro generating station to provide power to the burgeoning suburbs being built around Toronto. Today only traces remain.

Motel Highway
An old motel from the time when Lakeshore Road was Ontario Highway 2 and travellers would seek accommodation. This was at the corner of Atwater and Lakeshore in Lakeview.
