How Brock became Brock.
From the first settlers to today, the moments that shaped the town.
Where the name comes from
Named for Sir Isaac Brock, the War of 1812 hero killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights.
Indigenous roots
Brock was a hunting and fishing ground for First Nations peoples. It sits in the Williams Treaty Territories, on the lands of the Mississaugas and Chippewas.
The original Brock Township is surveyed as part of York County. Land here was granted to the estate of Sir Isaac Brock for his War of 1812 service, which is the basis for the township's name.
A small mill village, called Milton or Milltown, forms around a mill near today's Beaverton bridge. Early settlers are mostly Scottish, and the village soon has a grist mill, tannery, woollen mill and potteries.
Brock becomes part of the newly created Ontario County. It stays there for more than 120 years, until the county is dissolved and the Regional Municipality of Durham begins in 1974.
Sunderland gains recognition after the Toronto and Nipissing Railroad passes through. The local crossroads, known as Jones' Corner, is renamed Sunderland, and the railway puts the little community on the map.
In November the railroad reaches Cannington and the area booms. Rail service opens up new markets for local farmers and mills and brings fresh settlers to the north end of the township.
Cannington is incorporated as a village and is no longer part of the township for municipal purposes. Today Cannington houses Brock's municipal administration and the local high school.
Beaverton is incorporated, though settlement there began much earlier. On Lake Simcoe's east shore, it is now Brock's largest community and commercial centre, and Beaverton Harbour is a major winter ice-fishing hub.
Brock, Thorah, Beaverton, Cannington and Sunderland join to form today's Township of Brock under the new Regional Municipality of Durham. Brock is also officially recognized as the Smallmouth Bass Capital of Canada.
In May council approves zoning for a three-storey mixed-use building at 84 Osborn Street in Beaverton, and fall municipal elections choose the council for the 2026 to 2030 term. By September the average home sells for $617,600, down 8.1% since January.
