Home > York, Upper Canada


York was the original name of Toronto, Ontario. The town was established in 1793 by Governor John Graves Simcoe, who believed that York would be a superior site for the capital of Upper Canada, then at Newark (now Niagara-on-the-Lake). York became the capital of Upper Canada in 1796.
