Trinity-Bellwoods Condos for Rent

In the 17th Century, York (now called Toronto) was growing substantially and needed more land. The Mississaugas people (who resided in the area for hundreds of years) agreed to sell the British officials of York more of their land, hence the ‘Toronto Purchase of 1787’. Now, with more land under their British belt, the area was renamed the Town of York and established it as the capital of Upper Canada, but the Battle of York in 1812 damaged the area heavily. Through rebuilding and reconstructing York’s position in southern Ontario, its name was changed to the City of Toronto, and in turn, became the capital city of Ontario by 1834. The northwestern shores of Lake Ontario are where the city of Toronto begins (with 29 miles of waterfront shoreline, Toronto Harbour, the Toronto Islands and Port Lands), and it meets (and is part of) the Golden Horseshoe. Surrounding Toronto’s borders is Steeles Avenue in the north, Pickering/Scarborough town line in the east, Lake Ontario in the south, and Highway 427 in the west.The City of Toronto is the epitome of great wealth, with massive amounts of diversity in inhabitants’ ethnic cultures, international & national business structure, strong and growing economy and environmental awareness, Toronto is one of the best cities in the world to live, work and play in.
