South Algonquin Township: Highway 60 near Dunnes Road, Looking East
Few places in Ontario have a history as closely tied to Lake Ontario trade as Toronto. The city grew from the British colonial settlement of York, founded in 1793 on the lake’s northern shore, into Canada’s largest urban centre. Highway 401 crosses the metropolitan area as part of Ontario’s principal east–west freeway, while nearby Highway 400 carries traffic north toward Barrie and cottage country. This broad corridor in northwest Toronto reflects the region’s extensive system of expressways, freight movement and suburban employment districts. Beyond it, the city extends from the ravines of the Humber River watershed to Lake Ontario’s waterfront, while museums, theatres and major-league sport are concentrated downtown.
