Old Toronto is the
retronym of the original city of
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada, from 1834 to 1998. It was first incorporated as a city in 1834, after being known as the
Town of York, and became part of
York County. In 1954, it became the administrative headquarters for
Metropolitan Toronto. It expanded in size by annexation of surrounding municipalities, reaching its final boundaries in 1967. Finally, in 1998, it was
amalgamated into the present-day "megacity" of Toronto.
