Laskay is an unincorporated hamlet in King Township, Ontario, Canada, in York Region. It is west of King City and Highway 400, and south of the King Road—Weston Road intersection.
The settlement was named by Joseph Baldwin, and was named after his hometown Loskie in Yorkshire, England.[1] The community has also been known as Bulltown, a nickname it acquired after a fall fair in which a bull broke loose from its enclosure and charged the patrons.[1]
