York is a former city within the current city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located northwest of Old Toronto, southwest of North York and east of Etobicoke, where it is bounded by the Humber River. As a separate city, it was one of six municipalities that amalgamated in 1998 to form the current city of Toronto. The City of York was created by the amalgamation of several villages, including the present-day neighbourhoods of Lambton Mills and Weston.

 The first European settlement in York was established in 1793 by Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. The village was named after Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. In 1813, the new town of York (present-day Toronto) was founded to the west.
The area's economy is diverse; it includes manufacturing, retailing, transportation and tourism sectors as well as a large public sector.
