  Humber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Humber is a large tidal estuary forming part of the boundary between northern and southern England.
When the sea level was lower in the Ice Age, the Humber was a freshwater river that could have flowed up to 30 miles or more according to sea level before it reached the sea or joined the Wash River.
The Humber was once known as the Abus, for example in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene.

 Toronto, Ontario
Located on the northern shore of Lake Ontario, Toronto was originally a term of indeterminate geographical location, designating the approximate area of the future town of Toronto on maps dating to the late 17th and early 18th century.
Eventually the name was anchored to the mouth of the Humber River[?], the end of a portage route from Georgian Bay[?]; this is where the city of Toronto is located today.
Part of this confusion can be attributed to the succession of peoples who lived in the area during the 18th century: Huron, Senecas[?], Iroquois, and Mississaugas[?] (the latter having lent their name to Toronto's modern-day western suburb).

As the city grew it became naturally bounded by the Humber River to the west, and the Don River to the east.
