Eglinton Avenue is a major east-west arterial thoroughfare in Toronto and Mississauga, in the Canadian province of Ontario. Within Toronto, Eglinton Avenue is the only arterial which crosses through all six former municipalities. The street begins at Highway 407 (but does not interchange with the tollway) at the western limits of Mississauga, as a continuation of Lower Baseline in Milton. It traverses the midsection of both cities and ends at Kingston Road. The section between the Etobicoke Creek and Renforth Drive forms the city limits of Toronto and Mississauga.
The Toronto section was surveyed in the 19th Century as the Fourth Concession Road (With the first being Queen Street.). It was historically known as Richview Sideroad in Etobicoke and Lower Baseline in Mississauga. It was also designated Highway 5A, (and later Highway 109) in Scarborough .
