Toronto is the largest city of Canada with a population of 2.5 million within the city boundary, and another 2 million or so in the immediate areas surrounding the city. It has been my home for more than fifteen years. Toronto is a very ethnically diversed cosmopolitan, where you'll find Chinatown, Greektown, Little Italy, Little India, Little Korea, plus many other cultures scattered throughout Toronto.
Toronto, which means "a place of meeting" in Huron Indian, was a meeting place for the native people for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the Europeans. The French established a fort here in the 1600s. After the British gained control of the region in late 1700s, its name was changed to York, and a new fort, Fort York, was set up to fend of the Americans. It was renamed back to its original name in 1834 as the City of Toronto. Immigrants from all over the world kept the city growing to this date.

volopolo Thu Mar 27, 2008 02:54 UTC Excellent picture of Toronto | tpal Sun Nov 25, 2007 19:55 UTC Hi Neighbor, Greetings from sunny (go figure) Buffalo. Toronto is one of our favorite places to visit when we need a shot of a truly international city and can't afford to get to Paris or Rome. I'm sure we'll be back before long. Thanks...Tom | TheWanderingCamel Mon Nov 12, 2007 00:46 UTC Canadian friends all tell me what a great place Toronto is. I do like the look of those lovely parks - and autumn colour is always a drawcard. Nice page - thanks. leyle | 36waterfalls Tue Apr 24, 2007 00:42 UTC Love the Autumn Colors in the Travelogue! |
