1834年3月6日，原名約克（York）的城鎮正式改名並成立為 Toronto，位於今日加拿大安大略省。

該地最初於1793年建立，作為上加拿大（Upper Canada）的首府。為了與其他名為York的地區區分，同時回歸當地原住民語源，城市改名為「Toronto」。這個名稱源自莫霍克語（Mohawk），一般解作「樹立於水中的地方」。

成立之初，多倫多人口約九千人，是一個規模不大的殖民地城鎮，但已逐漸成為區域內的政治與商業中心。

隨著19世紀的移民潮、工業發展與鐵路建設，多倫多迅速擴張。時至今日，它已成為加拿大最大城市之一，也是全球最具多元文化特色的都市之一。

1834年3月6日，是多倫多由殖民地小鎮走向國際大城市的重要起點。

On March 6, 1834, the town of York was officially incorporated as the City of Toronto, in what is now Ontario, Canada.

Originally known as York, the settlement had been established in 1793 as the capital of Upper Canada. However, to distinguish itself from other places named York and to reflect its Indigenous roots, the city adopted the name “Toronto,” derived from a Mohawk word often interpreted as “place where trees stand in the water.”

At the time of incorporation, Toronto was a small but growing colonial town with a population of around 9,000 people. It served as a political and commercial center for the region.

Over the following decades, Toronto expanded rapidly through immigration, industrialization, and railway development. Today, it stands as Canada’s largest city and one of the most multicultural urban centers in the world.

March 6, 1834, marks the official beginning of Toronto’s transformation from a colonial town into a global metropolis.
