It occupied an area north of College and Gerrard between University and Logan Ave. The district was a dual district in that it elected two members to the Ontario provincial legislature. Elections were run as separate races for Seat A and Seat B rather than a combined race. The members in the two-seat districts were elected using separate first past the post contests.

In 1926 a major redistribution of Ontario seats resulted in Toronto Northeast being split into four new districts called St. Patrick, St. George, St. David, and Eglinton.

Boundaries

In 1914 Toronto Northeast was created out of the old Toronto North riding. It bordered College Street, Carlton Street and Gerrard Street East on the south. The western boundary was Spadina Road from College Street north to the city limits. The eastern boundary was Logan Avenue from Gerrard Street East to the city limits. The northern boundary followed the city limits from Spadina to Logan.

In 1926 a redistribution of Ontario seats resulted in Toronto Northeast being split into four new districts - St. Patrick, St. George, St. David, and Eglinton.
