Thornton Blackburn (1812–1890) was a self-emancipated formerly enslaved man whose case established the principle that Canada would not return slaves to their masters in the United States and thus established Canada as a safe terminus for the Underground Railroad.

Mr. Blackburn created Toronto’s first taxi service, in 1837, called “The City”. He started this service by building a red and yellow box cab named “The City,” drawn by a single horse and able to carry four passengers, with a driver in a box at the front, which he would operate. It became the nucleus of a successful taxicab company. Also, the colours of the “Toronto Transit Commission” (TTC), were inspired by The Blackburn’s original taxicabs.

Thornton Blackburn, and his wife Lucie, continued to be active in anti-slavery and community activities, helping to build the nearby “Little Trinity Church”, now the oldest-surviving church in Toronto.
