The history of Toronto, Ontario, Canada begins several

The name of Toronto has a history distinct from that of the

channel of water between Lake Simcoe and Lake
Couchiching, but in time the name passed southward, and
was eventually applied to a new fort at the mouth of the
Humber River. Fort Toronto was the first settlement in the
