  • Toronto - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto Coordinates: 43°42′N 79°24′W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Toronto (/tɵˈrɒntoʊ/, local /ˈtrɒnoʊ/) is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Toronto Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. The City history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New City of Toronto Credit. The settlement established there became York, which lieutenant governor John Graves Simcoe designated as the capital of Upper Canada. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812. In 1834, York became a city and renamed to Toronto. It was damaged in two huge fires in 1849 and 1904. Since 1954, the city occasionally expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently occurring in 1998. According to the 2011 Census, the city has 2.6 million residents, making it the fifth-most populous city in North America. However, in 2012, the municipal government published a population estimate of 2,791,140, which led to media reports claiming Toronto as the fourth most populous city in North America and the most populous Great Lakes city, surpassing Chicago.[2][3] The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064,[4] and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) had a population of 6,054,191 in From top left: Downtown Toronto featuring the CN Tower and the 2011 Census.[5] Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Financial District from the Toronto Islands, City Hall, the Ontario Area, and of the densely populated region in Southern Ontario Legislative Building, Casa Loma, Prince Edward Viaduct, and the Scarborough Bluffs known as the Golden Horseshoe.
