Ken Danby - artist painter, Metropolitan Toronto School Board the predecessor board of the TDSB Early History of Education in Toronto, Some municipalities considered part of the GTA are not within the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) whose land area (5,904 km2 in 2006) and population (5,928,040 as of the 2016 census) is thus smaller than the land area and population of the GTA planning area for example Oshawa is the centre of its own CMA yet deemed part of the Greater Toronto Area while other municipalities such as New Tecumseth in southern Simcoe County and Mono Township in Dufferin County are included in the Toronto CMA but not in the GTA. These different border configurations result in the GTA's population being higher than the Toronto CMA by nearly one-half million people often leading to confusion amongst people when trying to sort out Toronto's urban population Other nearby urban areas such as Hamilton Barrie or St Catharines-Niagara and Kitchener-Waterloo are not part of the GTA or the Toronto CMA but form their own CMAs near the GTA. Ultimately all the aforementioned places are part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe metropolitan region an urban agglomeration, which is the fourth most populous in North America When the Hamilton Oshawa and Toronto CMAs are agglomerated with Brock and Scugog they have a population of 6,170,072. It is part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis containing an estimated 59 million people in 2011 Municipalities in Greater Toronto Area and related CMAs!

The Distillery District holds the largest collection of preserved Victorian industrial architecture in North America In the 1800s a thriving industrial area developed around Toronto Harbour and lower Don River mouth linked by rail and water to Canada and the United States Examples included the Gooderham and Worts Distillery Canadian Malting Company the Toronto Rolling Mills the Union Stockyards and the Davies pork processing facility (the inspiration for the "Hogtown" nickname) This industrial area expanded west along the harbour and rail lines and was supplemented by the infilling of the marshlands on the east side of the harbour to create the Port Lands a garment industry developed along lower Spadina Avenue the "Fashion District" Beginning in the late 19th century industrial areas were set up on the outskirts such as West Toronto/The Junction where the Stockyards relocated in 1903 the Great Fire of 1904 destroyed a large amount of industry in the downtown Some of the companies moved west along King Street some as far west as Dufferin Street; where the large Massey-Harris farm equipment manufacturing complex was located. Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America.
