The "old" City of Toronto is, by far, the most populous and dense part of the city. It is also the business centre of the city. The "inner ring" suburbs of York and East York are older, predominantly middle-class areas, and are highly ethnically diverse. Much of the housing stock in these areas consists of old pre-war single-family houses and post-war high-rises. Many of the neighbourhoods in these areas were built up as streetcar suburbs and contain many dense and mixed-use streets. Mostly they share many characteristics with sections of the "old" city, outside of the downtown core. The "outer ring" suburbs of Etobicoke , Scarborough , and North York are much more Suburb an in nature. The following is a list of the more notable neighbourhoods, divided by the neighbourhoods' location based on the former municipalities, the names of which are still known and commonly used by Torontonians. What makes Toronto unique in many ways is the concern of (some) local residents within our neighbourhoods. Many Ratepayer’s Associations , Resident's Associations and Homeowner's Associations exist and meet regularly. Larger umbrella organizations such as CORRA, FoNTRA and CHIP organize because of bigger issues. Many of these organizations have websites which can be accessed from the Toronto Wiki website's Ratepayer’s Associations listings page. Old Toronto The Old City of Toronto refers to the City of Toronto and its boundaries from 1967 to 1997 . It is sometimes referred to as the "South" or "Central" district, or more frequently as "the (downtown) core." Some of these names such as "The Fashion District" are (or were) used as marketing for the areas or by BIAs; this area is actually called "King-Spadina" by locals. Another example is the "Old Town of York", known also as "King and Parliament". Many were recreated or branded to reconnect the areas with their past history, early beginnings, or even recent use and prominence. Some historical city 'wards', considered neighbourhoods at one time, are no longer used for neighbourhood distinction as they once were, for example, St. George and St. Patrick wards. The use for St. Lawrence ward has remained, known today just as "St. Lawrence". For the purposes of geographic distinction, the neighbourhoods of the Old City are broken down into four sub sections; Downtown Core (Central)
West End
North End (the southern portion is also referred to as '''Midtown''')
East End
East York Etobicoke
Scarborough
North York
