York East
Encyclopedia
York East was a federal electoral district
represented in the Canadian
House of Commons
at different times, and a provincial electoral district. It was located in the province
of Ontario
.
The first federal riding of York East was created by the British North America Act of 1867. Called the East Riding of York, it consisted of the Townships of Markham
, Scarborough
, the Village of Yorkville
and the portion of the Township of York lying east of Yonge Street
. In 1882, it was redefined to consist of the townships of East York
, Scarborough and Markham, and the villages of Yorkville and Markham.
The electoral district was abolished in 1903 when it was redistributed between Toronto North
, York Centre
and York South
ridings.
In 1914, the East Riding of York was recreated out of York Centre and York South ridings, and was defined as consisting of the township of Scarboro, and the eastern portion of the city of Toronto south of Danforth Avenue and east of Pape Avenue. The electoral district was abolished in 1924 when it was redistributed between Toronto—Scarborough
and York South ridings.
In 1933, the riding of York East was created from parts of York North
and York South ridings, and was defined as consisting of the part of the county of York lying south of the township of Whitchurch, east of Yonge Street, and north of the city of Toronto, and including the village of Stouffville.
In 1947, it was redefined to consist of the part of the county of York lying south of the township of Markham, east of Yonge Street and north of the city of Toronto. In 1952, it was redefined to consist of the township of East York
and the part of North York township bounded south of Lawrence Avenue and east of the town of Leaside and Leslie Street.
In 1966 and 1976, it was redefined with reference to various streets and rivers in Metropolitan Toronto
. The electoral district was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed between Beaches—Woodbine, Broadview—Greenwood, Don Valley West
and Don Valley East
ridings.
. It was smaller than the federal riding, but covered much of the same territory, particularly the borough of East York. Provincial members were known as Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) until 1938 when they were redesignated Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs). The riding was created in 1867, and abolished in 1999 with it being divided amongst Beaches—East York
in the east, Broadview—Greenwood in the west with the north end of the riding joining Don Valley West
.
