TORONTO — It might be easy to forget, Toronto is a harborfront community. But a sunset sail on Lake Ontario provides some spectacular views of the city.
The Wyandot people were probably the first to settle in the area, arriving here before 1000. The first Europeans arrived at the beginning of the 17th century.
Historians believe Toronto’s name stems from the Iroquois word tkaronto, which means “place where trees stand in the water.”
