History

Thornhill saw its first settlements in the late 1790s along Yonge Street, but the man who would become the town’s namesake, Benjamin Thorne, did not arrive until 1820. Thorne operated a sawmill, gristmill, and tannery, and so the area became known early on as Thorne’s Hill. Thornhill’s location along Yonge Street, an important transportation route, helped the community to grow quickly.
