Thornhill Neighbourhood Real Estate Information

Thornhill  is a Neighbourhood community in the Greater Toronto Area of Southern Ontario, Canada.  It is located just north of  the northern border of the City of Toronto.  Once a municipal village, Thornhill is now a community and postal designation geographically split into two municipalities along Yonge Street, the City of Vaughan to the west and the Town of Markham to the east.  Thornhill is immediately south of Richmond Hill.

Thornhill was founded in 1794. Its first settlers on Yonge Street in Thornhill were Asa Johnson ( who settled on the Vaughan side) and Nicholas Miller( who settled on the Markham side).  Of particular importance was the arrival of Benjamin Thorne in 1820, who was operating a gristmill, a  sawmill, and tannery in the community.  The settlement came to be known as Thorne’s Mills, and later, Thorne’s Hill from which its current name is derived. (Thorne committed suicide in 1848, after a serious wheat market crash.) More.....
