Dominion Bank (historical context)

The Dominion Bank, founded in 1869 in Toronto, was a major Canadian bank that grew through mergers and expansion, notably acquiring the Bank of Toronto in 1965. It played a significant role in Canada's financial history, providing banking services across the country. In 1969, Dominion Bank merged with the Bank of Toronto to form Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD Bank), which is now one of Canada's largest and most prominent banks. This merger helped shape the Canadian banking landscape, creating a stronger institution capable of competing nationally and internationally.
