OVERVIEW

Unionville is so popular that the boundaries are not well defined. Many want to claim it as their own. The Unionville name carries a certain cache and is a recognized GTA landmark. However, the boundaries of the greater Unionville neighbourhood are generally considered to be: Highway 407 on the south; 16th Avenue on the north; McCowan Road on the east; and Warden Avenue on the West.

HISTORY

Unionville’s first residents were settlers of German origin who emigrated here from the United States in 1794. This group was initially led by Wliiam Berczy and consisted of sixty-four families whose efforts were instrumental in the founding of Markham’s first communities. The Unionville branch of these pioneers was led by Philip Eckhardt whose family were instrumental in the formation of Unionville.
