William McMaster, a well-known Canadian senator and financier who left a C$900,000 bequest to the university's establishment, is the name-bearer. It was established in 1887 by the merger of the Toronto Baptist College and Woodstock College in accordance with an act of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. In 1890, Toronto saw its debut. It moved in 1930 because to inadequate facilities and a grant of land in Hamilton. The university was under the administration of the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec until 1957, when it was incorporated privately and received public funding.
