Geography
East York, Toronto is a neighbourhood that include the area south of Taylor-Massey Creek and the Don Valley, east of the Don River and West of Victoria Park Ave.
History
The Township of East York was incorporated on January 1, 1924. The residents were primarily employees of the Brick Yards and post World War I veterans.
East York was considered to be Canada's only Borough until 1998 when it was added into the distinction of the City of Toronto.
"The fact that East York chose to remain a Borough for so long rather than incorporate as a city speaks volumes for the neighbourliness and small town friendliness that has been an East York trademark ever since its formation in 1924." (http://www.torontoneighbourhoods.net)
Today East York is home to many sports teams, clubs and associations such as the East York Hockey Association, Curling Clubs, The Royal Canadian Legion, The East York Historical Society, and many more.
