March 1834 CE

York, Upper Canada, is incorporated on March 6, 1834, reverting to the name Toronto to distinguish it from New York City, as well as about a dozen other localities named "York" in the province (including the county in which Toronto is situated), and to dissociate itself from the negative connotation of "dirty Little York", a common nickname for the town by its residents.

The population is recorded in June 1834 at 9,252.
