Wesley Corners is a community situated in the Town of Whitchurch–Stouffville, Ontario, Canada. The hamlet is located at the intersection of Woodbine Avenue (east of Highway 404) and York Regional Road 15/ Aurora Road. It was originally known as ''Hacking's Corners'', after Rev. James Hacking who settled there in 1817. A Methodist Church was constructed of logs on the north-west corner in 1840; it was replaced by the current brick structure in 1881.〔See the detailed 1878 map: (Township of Whitchurch ), ''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); Maurice Smith, (Wesley United Church ), ''Stouffville Free Press'', Sept. 1, 2010.〕 The hamlet eventually became known as Wesley, in honour of the founder of the Methodist movement, John Wesley.〔Jean Barkey et al, (Whitchurch Township ) (Erin, ON: Boston Mills, 1993), 69; see also 70f.〕 Today a service station and coffee shop are found on the south-west corner, and an auto repair shop on the south-east corner. Ducks Unlimited, a wetland and wildlife conservation organization, is on the north-east corner. ==References==
