How Uxbridge became Uxbridge.
From the first settlers to today, the moments that shaped the town.
Where the name comes from
Named after Uxbridge, England, whose own name comes from “Wixan's Bridge.”
Quaker settlers begin arriving from the Catawissa area of Pennsylvania. They clear land, build farms and meeting places, and their simple, community-minded approach leaves a lasting mark on the early town.
The Uxbridge Friends Meeting House is built on Quaker Hill. It is the community's oldest building and remains a quiet reminder of the settlers who founded the town more than two centuries ago.
The township is incorporated as a municipality under York County. Two years later, in 1852, it becomes part of the newly formed Ontario County, a local government arrangement that lasted until 1974.
In June the Toronto and Nipissing Railway arrives, the first passenger-carrying narrow-gauge railway in North America. Uxbridge serves as its headquarters for over a decade, bringing jobs, visitors and trade.
The Village of Uxbridge separates from the township and incorporates as its own entity. The railway boom had turned the village centre into a busy hub, distinct from the surrounding farmland.
Uxbridge Township amalgamates with the Town of Uxbridge and Scott Township under the new Regional Municipality of Durham. The result is the township residents know today, a mix of historic town centre, farms and forest.
Industry Canada designates Uxbridge the Trail Capital of Canada, citing more than 220 km of managed trails. Hikers, cyclists and riders come for the same countryside that homebuyers love.
The year opens with a winter farmers market at the arena, a Love Trail through downtown shops and public meetings on zoning for 290 Main Street North, as council enters the final year of its term. By September the average home sells for $1,277,553, up 28.2% since January.
