  2. its a nice little sea side town in northern england you can buy rock and pop corn is this were you mean

  3. it used to be considered a suburban area of Toronto and now it is part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

  4. no, its a part of GTA.. and a very dangerous one...

  5. Scarborough has the characteristics of a suburb... but is actually a part of Metropolitan Toronto.

    The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) includes:

    • Metropolitan Toronto (Toronto, East York, Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York)

    • Regional Municipality of York (Aurora, Gwillimbury, Georgina, King, Markham, Newmarket, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Whitchurch-Stouffville)

    • Regional Municipality of Halton (Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Halton Hills)

    • Regional Municipality of Peel (Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon)

    • Regional Municipality of Durham (Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Uxbridge, Scugog, Brock).

    The Greater Toronto Area is the 7th largest metropolitan area in North America.

    RE:

    Scarborough was a suburb before the year 1953. Since then, its been part of Toronto.

    • In the 1600s, the area was inhabited by the Seneca at the village of Ganatsekwyagon.

    • In 1850, Scarborough was incorporated as a township.

    • In 1953, Scarborough became a part Metropolitan Toronto.

    • In 1998, Scarborough was amalgamated with North York, Etobicoke, York, East York and the old city of Toronto to become the new city of Toronto. The Scarborough name is still used as a municipality name and is recognized by Canada Post.
