With the concession of Metro Toronto the offices of York County were moved from Toronto to Newmarket Originally the membership in Metropolitan Toronto included the City of Toronto and five townships: East York Etobicoke North York Scarborough and York; as well as seven villages and towns which became amalgamated into their surrounding townships in 1967 the early Metro Toronto government debated over the annexation of surrounding townships of Markham Pickering and Vaughan the first Metro Toronto Chairman Frederick Goldwin Gardiner planned on the conversion of these townships into boroughs of the Metro Toronto government in 1971 the remaining areas of York County was replaced by the Ontario government with the Regional Municipality of York in 1974 Ontario and Durham Counties were reorganized to become the Regional Municipality of Durham; Pickering west of Rouge River was transferred to Scarborough at that time Peel County became Peel Region in 1974 as well in 1980 North York would be incorporated into a city with York following suit in 1983 and Etobicoke and Scarborough in 1984 although still part of the Metropolitan Toronto municipal government Satellite image of Toronto during the mid-1980s.
