York
There are many places called York:
Historically, "muddy York" (the Town of York, established 1793, became Toronto in 1834) was the seat of York County. The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto split from the county (now York Region) in 1953; a York Township became York, North York and East York - three of the six Metro Toronto boroughs. The boroughs were amalgamated into the City of Toronto in 1998, but many "York" place names (Yorkville, Yorkdale, York Mills) survive in and around Toronto, Ontario:
- York Region - A region directly north of Toronto which includes Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan.
