1793 marks the year when the permanent settlement here was established. 1834 is merely when the present municipal corporation of Toronto was created. 1834 is not a true birthday for Toronto; it was already an independent settlement in existence since the late 18th century.

And as someone noted on Twitter, 1834 was the incorporation of the former city, which ceased to exist upon amalgamation in 1998. If we are going by incorporation dates, then Toronto is 20 years old. Not old enough to buy a beer in Buffalo.

...and Markham (as a city) is six years old!

Just fresh out of kindergarten!
