York is a district within Toronto, Ontario, Canada, known for its diverse communities, including Portuguese, Jamaican, and Latin American neighborhoods. It was once a separate city and part of York County, but it underwent several changes, eventually amalgamating into Metropolitan Toronto in 1954 and later into the City of Toronto in 1998. York has a rich history, once home to significant Black communities and villages like Teiaiagon. The area features distinct neighborhoods, such as Weston and Fairbank, and offers various educational institutions, including York Memorial Collegiate Institute. York's political landscape evolved from a township to a borough, then a city, and finally integrated into the larger Toronto governance.
