Humber River

There are several rivers in the world called the Humber River:

The one in England flows southward from the North Sea for 121 km. Considering it is a wide river, more than 11 km wide at its mouth, the Humber Bridge was built in 1981 to further development along the banks of the river.

The Humber River in Toronto flows south 93 km from its origin in Orangeville to Lake Ontario. Its eastern branch originates in Aurora, Ontario and meets the river just south of Highway 7. The western branch flows from the Claireville Conservation Area in Brampton west into Toronto through Rexdale roughly parallel to Finch Ave., and then Albion Rd., before meeting the main branch at Summerlea Park near Weston and Sheppard.
