King

Occupying a large swath of land in northwest York Region, King is a largely rural community approximately an hour away from Downtown Toronto. The township is blessed to be nestled along the Oak Ridges Moraine, which gives King its characteristic rolling terrain covered in lush green. Such an environment makes it clear why King is especially known for three things: cattle, horses, and fresh produce.

King may be the largest area in York Region with over 330 km2 to its name, but it’s also the least populated. As of 2021 population estimates, approximately 27,300 people live in King.
