Etobicoke /ɛˈtoʊbɨkoʊ/ (with a silent 'ke') is a former municipality within the western part of the city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Long populated by First Nations, it began to be settled by Anglo-Europeans in the 1790s; the municipality grew into city status in the 20th century. Several independent villages and towns developed within the area of Etobicoke, including Mimico, only to be absorbed later into Etobicoke during the era of Metro Toronto. Etobicoke was dissolved in 1998, when it was amalgamated with other Metro Toronto municipalities into the city of Toronto.
