Charles Unwin (b.1829 d.1918-01-05) was a prominent surveyor for the Province of Ontario and the City of Toronto.[1] Unwin was born in the United Kingdom, and emigrated to Toronto in 1843, and lived with his uncle—also named Charles Unwin.[2] Unwin attended the prestigious Upper Canada College, a private high school attended by many of the leading elements of Ontario's administration. After graduation he apprenticed with John Stoughton Dennis, completing his apprenticeship in 1852.[3] He spent the next nine years surveying Muskoka County.
Unwin entered into a partnership with Vernon Bayley Wadsworth in 1868.[4]
In 1910 the association of Ontario Land Surveyors published Unwin's 12 page autobiographical sketch.[5]
Unwin never married. He worked as a surveyor for Toronto from 1874 to his death, at 88 in 1918.[1]
Unwin Avenue, the southernmost street in Toronto's Portlands, is named after Unwin.[6]
