Things, Charity.” ' Vol. XLVIX. RICHMOND HILL, our, ruuasnnr, AUGUST 19, 1926 7" ’ N0 8‘ â€" PIONEER AND PRESENT ' BY A. JAMES Article 8 YORK Before the white man came the area between what is now Toronto and Lake Simcoe was described as Torontonâ€" a Huron Indian word meaning the meeting place. The nu- l merous Indian burying grounds and camp sites that have been discovered in this area are mute witnesses to the fact that what is now York was indeed “an Indian meeting place.” ' The white man changed the descriptive word into a proper noun and spelled it Toronto and on at least one old map Lake Simcoe is“named Lake Toronto and the Humber River, Toronto River. " The English changed the name of Fort Rouille to Fort Toronto and it was by this name it was known when Lieut. Go‘v. Simcoe selected Toronto as the site of the new Capital of Upper Canada. But he was not pleased with the name and when the Duke of York’s Army was victorious against the French in ‘~ Holland he used the victory as the occasion of changing the name of the capital of Upper Canada to York. The proclamation which We here give in full calling for the change wong indicate that Governor Simcoe wished to do honor to the uke of York and perhaps at the same time please King George III. ( PROCLAMATION York Upper Canada, August 2th, 1793 His excellency the Lieutenantâ€"Governor. having received information of the success of His Majesty’s Arms under H. R. H. the Duke of York, by which Holland has been saved from the invasion of the French Armies and it appearing that the combined forces have been successful in dislodging their enemies from an entrenched camp supposed to be im- pregnable, from which the most important consequence may be expected and in which the arduous attempt H. R. H. the Duke of York and His Majesty’s troops supported the National Glory and it is His Excellency’s orders that on the raising of the Union Flag at 12 o’clock tomorrow, a Royal Salute of 21 guns is to be fired, to be answered by the shipping in the Harbor, in respect of His Royal Highness and in commemoration of the naming of this Harbor from His title l York. l l rs. EGALEC (Signed) E. B. LIT’IL In 1817 York was given self-G0vernrnent and upon the population reaching 9,000, it was on March 5th, 1834 incor- porated asa City under the former name, Toronto. Although for forty years the official name was York yet the us a1 term applied when refering to this new set- tlement was ittle York” or “Muddy York." The first surveys at York, outside of the Capital were Yonge Street and Eglinton Avenue, which were the base lines for future surveys, and the first township outlined was the Township of Dublin but later the township name was changed first to Toronto and then to York in conformity with the Capital name. ' The School in School Section No. 16, York West (now North York) situated on the Lansing Side Road is known as the “Dublin School” and as this locality was one of the first in York to be‘settled, I sometimes think the name of the Dublin School is a memory from the early days when the Township of York was know as the Township of Dublin. When the survey of the townships between Lake Ont- ario and Lake Simcoe was completed an electoral district within the Home District was named York and Later On- tario, York and Peel formed a County in Upper Canada, but it was not until 1851 that York was formed into a separate County, consisting of the townships of Etobicoke, York, Scarboro, Markham. Vaughan, King, Whitchurch, Gwillim- bury East and Gwillimbury North. The counties of Ontario, York for county purposes until 1853 when Ontario separated In 1856 the present County Buildings were constructed and have been continuously for seventy years the home of the County of York Olfices and the meeting place of the County Council.
