Toronto and Scarboro' Electric Railway, Light and Power Company was established in August 1892 to provide street railway service beyond the then City of Toronto, Ontario to the Township of Scarborough.

By 1895 the TSERLPC was acquired by Toronto Railway Company with service within Toronto merged with the TRC and service in Scarborough, Ontario by Toronto and York Radial Railway after 1904. The service was acquired by Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario as Hydro Electric Railways: Toronto and York Division from 1922 to 1927. After 1927, the service was acquired by the Toronto Transit Commission and ceased operations by 1936.
