Etobicoke<\/span> | \/\u025b\u02c8to\u028ab\u0268ko\u028a\/ (with a silent ‘ke’)| \u00a0is a former municipality within the western part of the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. First populated by First Nations, and then settled by Europeans in the 1790s, the municipality grew into city status in the 20th century. Several independent villages and towns developed within the area of Etobicoke, including Mimico<\/span>, only to be later absorbed into Etobicoke during the era of Metro Toronto. Etobicoke itself was dissolved in 1998, when it was amalgamated with other Metro Toronto municipalities into the city of Toronto. Etobicoke is bordered on the south by Lake Ontario, on the east by the Humber River, on the west by Etobicoke Creek, the city of Mississauga and Toronto Pearson International Airport (though a small portion of the airport extends into Etobicoke) and on the north by Steeles Avenue West.<\/p>\n South Etobicoke includes the Long Branch<\/span>, New Toronto<\/span> and Mimico<\/span> neighbourhoods. Simply known as as “the Lakeshore<\/span>“, these streetcar suburbs extend along Lake Ontario and are connected to Toronto’s central core by the beloved 501 Queen Streetcar, which was nominated by the National Geographic magazine as one of the world’s “top ten trolley rides.”<\/p>\n Assembly Hall | WEBSITE<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0Humber Valley United Church | WEBSITE<\/a><\/p>\nWHERE THE MUSIC’S\u00a0AT<\/h1>\n
