North York is an administrative area and former city in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located directly north of Old Toronto, between Etobicoke to the west and Scarborough to the east. In 1998, North York was amalgamated with the rest of Metropolitan Toronto to form the new city of Toronto, and has since been a secondary economic hub outside Downtown Toronto. The Township of North York was formed on June 13, 1922 out of the rural part of the Township of York.
Jewish Canadians have a significant presence along Bathurst Street, which has been historically the largest Jewish community in Toronto and still is today. Along Bathurst are many Jewish community services, businesses, and synagogues. Many Jewish Canadians have also moved north of Toronto in recent years, in communities such as Thornhill. The neighbourhood with the largest percentage of Jewish people in North York is the Bathurst-Steeles area in Westminster-Branson at 14%. With the influx of many arab communities into the area many Jewish communities have started to move further north.
