A little history

York in Toronto. Toronto is the capital of Ontario, located on a harbour at the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. York is a district and former city within Toronto, east of the Humber River. It was amalgamated into Toronto in 1998, and it contains former towns, postal villages and suburban neighborhoods.

Notable neighborhoods in York include:

Weston and Oakwood Village. Weston is a former town in the northwest of the city, east of the Humber River. It was incorporated as a village in the 19th century and absorbed into the Borough of York in the late 1960s. Weston Road is its historic core. Oakwood Village, formerly known as Oakwood–Vaughan, is a Business Improvement Area with an annual arts festival and a public library built in 1997.

Mount Dennis and Keelesdale-Eglinton West. Mount Dennis began as an urban area within the former township of York, along Eglinton Avenue. It was best known for Kodak Heights, once a major film manufacturing facility of the Eastman Kodak Company. Keelesdale–Eglinton West lies south of Eglinton Avenue in an area that began as a postal village serving the then-agricultural York Township.
