This article is about the Toronto borough and former Canadian municipality. For other places, see
Scarborough. Scarborough is the area that forms the eastern part of the City of
Toronto,
Ontario,
Canada. It was a separate city for over 200 years, but has been part of the 'East District' of Toronto since
1998. The Scarborough name is still used by most local residents, and is recognized by
Canada Post as a municipality name. Scarborough has characteristics of a
suburb of
old Toronto, but retains much of its own character and flavour. Certain neighbourhoods in Scarborough are popular destinations for new
immigrants to Canada, who bring part of their own culture to that of Scarborough. Because of the topography of
the Bluffs, the
Rouge Valley and the other creeks and many minor tributaries, Scarborough is said to be the greenest and leafiest part of Toronto.
