In geometric invariant theory actions of algebraic groups on projective varieties are studied. Mumford's methods for the construction of quotients of such group actions do not in general lead to a unique or canonical quotient, rather to an inverse system of quotients. To remedy this situation the authors introduce the --- canonical --- Chow quotient. This quotient is thoroughly explored for the case that the variety under consideration is toric. Connections with the quotients obtained from geometric invariant theory are discussed.
