 | | The GTA extends beyond the city boundaries and includes the regional municipalities of Halton, Peel, York and Durham. |
 | | As a result, in 1953, the new Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto was created, and came into being on January 1, 1954, as a new regional level of government. |
 | | This arrangement lasted until 1998, when the regional level of government was abolished and the six municipalities (Toronto, Etobicoke, North York, East York, York, and Scarborough) were amalgamated into a single 'giant' municipality or "megacity". |
