Toronto Gore Township, Ontario
- Toronto Gore Township, Ontario
from 1831 to 1973.
Toronto Gore came into existence as a township in 1831 when it was separated from Chinguacousy Township. In 1867 it became part of Peel County when that county was split from York County. A small wedge-shaped tract of land, Toronto Gore was located on the east of the county, on the border with York.["A History of Peel County", Brampton: The Corporation of the County of Peel, 1967.] It was south of Albion Township, east of Chinguacousy Township, and northeast of Toronto Township. Later, the southern portion of the township was annexed to Toronto Township, and finally in 1973 the remainder was incorporated into the City of Brampton.]The name lives on in the name of the provincial and federal electoral district of Bramalea—Gore—Malton as well as local roads "Goreway Drive" and "The Gore Road".
