下面是关于它的历史与地理的介绍文
Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario.It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario.The history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New Credit.The British established a settlement there,called the Town of York,which its lieutenant governor,John Graves Simcoe,designated as the capital of Upper Canada.The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812.In 1834,York was incorporated as a city and renamed Toronto.It was damaged in two huge fires in 1849 and 1904.Over the years,Toronto has expanded its borders several times through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities,most recently in 1998.
Toronto covers an area of 630 square kilometres (243 sq mi),with a maximum north-south distance of 21 kilometres (13 mi) and a maximum east-west distance of 43 km (27 mi).It has a 46-kilometre (29 mi) long waterfront shoreline,on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario.The Toronto Islands and Port Lands extend out into the lake,allowing for a somewhat sheltered Toronto Harbour south of the downtown core.The city's borders are formed by Lake Ontario to the south,Etobicoke Creek and Highway 427 to the west,Steeles Avenue to the north and the Rouge River and the Scarborough-Pickering Townline to the east.
