Before Europeans arrived in today's greater toronto area, there were many aborigines living in this area: neutral aborigines, Seneca people, Mohawk people and Huron people settled here at different times. Mississauga people arrived in this area at the end of 17 and the beginning of 18, driving away the Iroquois who originally lived here. Europeans also arrived in Toronto in the17th century.

A land and water transportation line connecting Lake Ontario, Lake Simco and the upper reaches of the Great Lakes passes through here. This transportation line is called the Toronto Transportation Line and is a key point for French fur traders to trade. France built a royal warehouse here in the1720s (abandoned a few years later), and later built a fortress in the171950s, but it was destroyed by the British in the Seven Years' War. It was also owned by the British after the war.

After the American War of Independence, colonial residents loyal to Britain from thirteen states moved here in large numbers, bringing the first wave of European immigrants to greater toronto area. 1787, the British government purchased more than 250,000 acres (1000 square kilometers) of land from Mississauga, which is known as Toronto land purchase. York County was subsequently established in 1792, covering a small area of Toronto, Horton, Peel, York and Turin. Yorktown (now Toronto) was destroyed by American troops in the war of 18 12.

Wentworth County and Horton County separated from York County in 18 16, forming their own local administrative structures. The rebellion in Upper Canada later broke out in York County, and William Leon Mackenzie led the people against the British colonial government. Ontario County and Pierre County were separated from York County on 185 1, while the area of York County south of Steels Avenue (that is, the city of Toronto and its suburban towns) was separated from York County on 1953 and reorganized into Greater Toronto. After the establishment of Greater Toronto, the county magistrate of York County moved from Toronto to Newmark. The city government of Greater Toronto also has the right to control the planning affairs of neighboring towns (such as Wang Shi, Wanjin and Pickering), but these cities are not under the formal jurisdiction of most cities.

Most cities were originally made up of the old city of Toronto, five towns (East York, Itaobi Valley, North York, scarborough and York) and seven other towns. Those seven villages and towns were merged into the old town of Toronto and the above five villages and towns on 1967. The rest of York County was reorganized into York District on 197 1. North York, York, Itaobi Valley and scarborough were renamed in 1960s+0980s. Together with the administrative structures of the Old Town of Toronto, East York and most cities, these four cities merged into the New Town of Toronto in 1960s +0998.
