Toronto, which is derived from the Iroquois word 'tkaronto' translates to "place where trees stand in the water." In the nineteenth century, a large-scale sewage system was made, illuminating the streets with gas lighting as a regular service. Long-distance railway lines were likewise built, consisting of the Northern Railway of Canada and the Grand Trunk Railway.
The Yorkville neighborhood is one of the city's most elegant and luxurious dining and shopping places. Many celebrities are seen in this area, specially during the Toronto International Film Festival. The Toronto Eaton Centre is also of the very best shopping places in North America, drawing more than fifty-two million visitors and tourists every year. Greektown (Danforth) is also another major tourist attraction.
