Fort Toronto, also known as Fort Portneuf, was a French trading post that was located near the mouth of the Humber River in what is now Toronto, Ontario.The first one (known as Magasin Royal or Fort Douville) had been built in 1720 near today's Baby Point, north of the mouth of the Humber River (then known as the Tanaovate River). The French abandoned Magasin Royal by the end of the 1720s, and they did not establish another trading post in the area until the construction of Fort Toronto. Fort Toronto's immediate success in attracting First Nations traders led to the establishment of nearby Fort Rouillé in 1751 until it was destroyed in 1759.

Windsor was incorporated as a village in 1854, then became a town in 1858, and gained city status in 1892. It is the oldest continually inhabited European-founded settlement in Canada west of Montreal, despite being settled after other areas in the country.
