Etobicoke, Administrative district in western Toronto, Canada

Etobicoke extends from Lake Ontario northward to Steeles Avenue, encompassing residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and recreational spaces along the Humber River.

The township incorporated in 1850 with 2,904 residents and maintained independence until 1998, when it merged with Toronto during the city's amalgamation.

The name originates from the Mississauga word 'Adobigok', reflecting the indigenous heritage of the area where alder trees grew abundantly.

The district contains multiple subway stations, expressways, and bus routes, connecting residents to downtown Toronto and surrounding regions through public transportation.

Tudor and Georgian architecture characterizes many residential areas, resulting from Robert Home Smith's 1911 development plan for 3,000 acres near the Humber River.
