The University of Toronto (U of T) is a public research university with three main campuses in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. Based on the grounds that surround Queen's Park in Toronto, it was founded by royal charter in 1827 as King's College, the first institution of higher learning in Upper Canada. Originally controlled by the Church of England, the university assumed its present name in 1850 upon becoming a secular institution. Its three campuses are known as St. George, Mississauga and Scarborough. The large downtown Toronto location, St. George, is the oldest of the three and comprises several colleges, each with varying autonomy over financial and institutional affairs.
