Metropolitan Toronto
Metropolitan Toronto was the name of the highest level of municipal government in the Toronto, Ontario area from 1954 to 1997. It resembled, in some ways, a regional municipality, being formed of smaller municipalities but having more responsibilities than a county or district. It was commonly referred to as "Metro" to avoid confusion with the old City of Toronto, which was within its borders.
It ceased to exist on January 1, 1998, when Metro and the six municipalities within it merged into the single City of Toronto, or Mega-city as it is still called.
