History
The provincial electoral district was created in 1999 when provincial ridings were defined to have the same borders as federal ridings.
Before 1999, the name York Centre was assigned to a completely different riding located in York Region north of Toronto with none of the same territory as the current York Centre. In 1999, much of the old York Centre was absorbed by the new riding of Vaughan—King—Aurora. The former riding was Wilson Heights.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
