Background
History
The village is named after Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The name is derived from the Mohawk word tkaronto, meaning "place where trees stand in the water". A coal baron named WC Stobart who owned land in County Durham was visiting the Canadian city in 1859 when he was told that coal had been discovered under his land. He therefore decided to call the mine Toronto, whence the village also took its name.
