I'm bumping this thread every 24h until it sinks into your thick heads.
I was born in Toronto
[Also, helping Zyzzyva with the bumping thing, just don't know when else I will]

Just out of curiosity, do you actually live on Manitoulin? If so, cool.
Yeah, North-East side.
The name Toronto was associated w/the area though, wasn't it? "Toronto" predates "York" correct?
I beleive so, in the sense that "Massachusetts" preceds "Plymouth". It had the name, but there was nothing there.
I understand. It amuses me too when people think that cities like Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Perry Sound, etc. were thriving back in the 1700's.
Have Sir Frederick Haldimand build Fort Toronto in 1783 to accomidate British loyalists at the end of the ARW.

I'm half expecting someone to ask whether Hwy-401 existed back then or not.
The fact that it's called Conestoga Road rather implies that it did.
Or is this a different 401 that you're talking about?
Detroit at least had a settlement there in 1783 (founded in 1701, it was the largest settlement between Montreal and New Orleans), even if it went by different names in its history.
Ah, you obviously missed the alternate Treaty of Paris thread, then.
