Locust Hill, Ontario
Locust Hill is a historic community of Markham, Ontario centred on Hwy. 7 and the Canadian Pacific Railway and within the boundaries of the future national Rouge Park.
==History==
Locust Hill was first settled about 1799 by Samuel Reynolds, a United Empire Loyalist from Dutchess County, New York. The hamlet, centred on lots 10 and 11, concession 10, had a general store, blacksmith shop and, in 1856, a Methodist Church as well.〔See the detailed 1878 map, "(Township of Markham )," ''Illustrated historical atlas of the county of York and the township of West Gwillimbury & town of Bradford in the county of Simcoe, Ont.'' (Toronto: Miles & Co., 1878). Note that Locust Hill is not noted, only Belford.〕 A brick schoolhouse was built in 1864, a post office was opened in 1886, and the present church structure was built in 1890.〔See North Pickering Community Development Project, ''(The Historical Complexities of Pickering, Markham, Scarborough and Uxbridge )'', Sept. 1973, pp. 52f.〕
Locust Hill only became a place of significance with the arrival of the Ontario and Quebec Railway in the 1884, linking Toronto with Peterborough. Area business leaders from Whitevale and Green River petitioned to create a railway station at Locust Hill. The hamlet and station were named after the farm of William and Esther Reesor Armstrong, where locust trees were a prominent feature.〔For a full account of Locust Hill's history, cf. Isabel Champion, ed., ''(Markham: 1793-1900 )'' (Markham, ON: Markham Historical Society, 1979), pp. 246-248; 160; 183ff.; 89. See also Myra Chepack, "(Markham Fair President 1910: James McCreight Armstrong )," Markham Fair official website. Esther Reesor Armstrong was a daughter of Peter Reesor, founder of Reesorville, later the Village of Markham.〕
Locust Hill was one of the busiest stations on the Toronto-Perth line. Flour, brushes, livestock and milk were shipped out of Locust Hill in quantity. In 1887 an elevator and mill were built east of the station, and a co-operative creamery was built on the south side of Highway 7 in 1893. Rail service throuogh Locust Hill ceased in 1969. The old Locust Hill Station has been relocated and reconstructed at the Markham Museum and Historic Village.
