Toronto has been home to Europeans for 175 years, since its incorporation as the City of Toronto in 1834. The French have been coming to the area since the middle of the 18th century, when they set up a fur trading post. Located on the northern shores of Lake Ontario, the city has grown into arguably the lake’s most exciting port of call.
