Steeles is named after a tavern owner with the last name 'Steels', but the name was corrupted to the current form.

From the eastern city limit, Steeles runs along the Toronto's northern border with York Region and west to Albion Road. West of Albion Road, Steeles continues into Peel Region. East of Toronto-Pickering Town Line, the road becomes Taunton Road.

Although Steeles Avenue is at the boundary between the City of Toronto (formerly Metro Toronto) and York Region, it is maintained by the City of Toronto. Several years ago, Ontario's Worst Roads (OWR) listed it as one of the streets in the poorest condition due to congestion and potholes.
