East York
In 1998, East York, along with North York, York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and Old Toronto, were amalgamated into the new "megacity" of Toronto. East York's last mayor was Michael Prue who went on to become city councillor for East York, and then a Member of Provincial Parliament for Beaches—East York in 2001. Between 2002 and 2005, the East York Civic Centre's "True Davidson Council Chamber" was used to hold the Toronto Computer Leasing Inquiry/Toronto External Contracts Inquiry.
List of neighbourhoods in Toronto
Etobicoke is often divided into three zones: north, central, and south, roughly approximate to that of the federal and provincial ridings and city wards.
North York is located north of York, Old Toronto, and East York. It was a separate city until the 1998 amalgamation. North York is sometimes divided to two sections by Yonge Street: an east section and a west section.
Scarborough is on the east side of Victoria Park Avenue. It was a separate city until the 1998 amalgamation. West Rouge was transferred from Pickering to Scarborough in 1974 as part of the establishment of Durham Region. It was also the largest former municipality by area.
York is situated between Old Toronto and North York, west of Bathurst Street (aside from the neighbourhood of Tichester at the southeasternmost corner of the former city, which extends as far east as Walmer Road and includes much of St. Clair West station). Weston was independent of York until 1967. York was a separate city until the 1998 amalgamation. Since then, York is often administered with Etobicoke as a single community council within the amalgamated city of Toronto.
