North York, not New York. York is a city near Toronto.

"York is a city near Toronto."

Just to clarify, both York and North York are now a part of the amalgamated city of Toronto (1998), and do not exist as distinct jurisdictions. Colloquially people still refer to North York, but seldom refer to York as a distinct area. It's just Toronto.

On this same line of British names in North America, Fort York was the British military fort in Toronto

It should read North York
