Article History

York, former city (1983–98), southeastern Ontario, Canada. In 1998 it amalgamated with the cities of Toronto, Etobicoke, Scarborough, and North York and the borough of East York to form the City of Toronto. York was established as a borough in 1967, through the amalgamation of the township of York and the town of Weston (incorporated 1881). It was incorporated as a city in 1983. The original York Township was formed in 1793, and it was once called Dublin.
