Toronto
1810, known as York
John Graves Simcoe
Quoted in Eric Arthur, No Mean City
I propose that the Site of the Colony should be in the Graeat Penisnsula
between the Lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario, a Spot destined by Nature
sooner or later, to govern the interior World. I mean to establish
a Capital in the very heart of the Country, upon the River La Tranche,
which is navigable for batteaux for 150 miles... The Capital I mean
to call Georgina."
