GuidingStar.ca The #1 Online Source for Information on Markham, Ontario, Canada Home Business Directory Community Services ... Map History of Markham, Ontario, Canada by Grant Weaver GuidingStar.ca About 1000 AD, Markham was first settled by the Iroquois people who lived in semi-permanent villages, growing mainly corn, but also squash, beans and sunflowers, in the fertile soil they found in the valley of the river they called the Katabokakonk, �river of easy entrance�. They also used the river and valley as a route to the north country. In the 17 th century, five aboriginal tribes, speaking related languages�the Mohawk, Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga and Oneida peoples-formed a federation called the Five Iroquois Nations.* The distinctive structure built by the Iroquois was the �longhouse�, a grouping of these multi-family dwellings making up an Iroquois settlement. In 1608, the French founded a colony in Quebec City and, from there, established settlements along the shores of the St. Lawrence River. They began to explore further inland and laid claim to the lands where Markham now stands. When they visited this area they found the Katabokakonk river but, struck by how in places its waters were coloured reddish by the clay along its banks, they named it the Rivi�re Rouge. During these explorations, the French also pursued the fur trade with the native peoples. In the middle of the 17

The French explorer Étienne Brûlé explored part of the area in 1610-12. The English explorer Henry Hudson sailed into Hudson Bay in 1611 and claimed the area for England , but Samuel de Champlain reached Lake Huron in 1615 and French missionaries began to establish posts along the Great Lakes. French settlement was hampered by their hostilities with the Iroquois, who would ally themselves with the British. Around this period some Iroquois tribes of the five leagues (based in New York State) were actively engaged in territorial expansion both over related Iroquoians and others, boosted by their alliances with the British. The British established trading posts on Hudson Bay in the late 17th century and began a struggle for domination of Ontario.

The Official Website of Ontario, California Home Search Contact Us E- ... About Ontario History of Ontario History of Ontario It was in the first week of August, 1881 when George Chaffey, a Canadian engineer, viewed the wastes known as the Cucamonga Desert and decided that this patch of land, if properly watered, could become productive and profitable. George and his brother William bought the "San Antonio lands," 6,218 acres with water rights for $60,000. This was the nucleus of their new model colony. They subsequently expanded to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks on the south. On the north, they took in the Kincaid Ranch at San Antonio Canyon, an all-important source of water. The Ontario Colony lands were quickly surveyed and went on sale in November, 1882. The centerpiece was Euclid Avenue, eight miles long and two hundred feet wide, the twin "driveways" separated by a parkway which was seeded in grass and lined with pepper trees. George named Euclid Avenue after the great Greek mathematician whose book Elements of Geometry had been a favorite subject for George in school. The primary requirement, which had to be met before the land could be utilized, was that water had to be found and brought to the town. Chaffey laid miles of cement pipe for this purpose and later the San Antonio Water Co. drove a tunnel into the head of the canyon to tap the underground flow—then an innovation in the field. The need for electric power to lift water from deep wells led to the establishment of the Ontario Power Co.

18. Ontario History History of Ontario CA Ontario History . Ontario, which means “the City on the side of a mountain,” was founded in September of 1881 by George Chaffey Jr. and his brother William. http://www.ontarioheritage.org/index_files/History.htm

Protecting, Preserving and Promoting Our Model Colony Ontario History Ontario, which means �the City on the side of a mountain,� was founded in September of 1881 by George Chaffey Jr. and his brother William. The brothers purchased the �San Antonio lands�, 6218 acres with water rights. This purchase would become the center of the �Model Colony�. The Chaffey brothers also expanded their holdings to include the land south of the Southern Pacific Railroad and north to the San Antonio Canyon, an important source of water. In 1903 Ontario was proclaimed a �Model Irrigation Colony� by an act of Congress. The Ontario planned community had many modern innovations, which still show merit today. Two-hundred foot, eight mile long ,Euclid Avenue (on the National Register List of Historic Places) was the stately back- bone of the colony with provisions for an electric railway, water rights for each landowner, a local educational institution, electric lights, and one of the first long distance telephone lines. The location near water and transportation ensured the success of the Model Colony and it set new standard for rural communities and irrigation practices that were followed for many years Shortly after establishing the �Model Colony�, the Chaffey�s left Ontario for Australia and entrepreneur, Charles Frankish became the guiding force during Ontario�s early years. Frankish commissioned a water fountain to be placed on Euclid Avenue to symbolize prosperity to all visitors that passed through Ontario. The fountain has been restored and can still be viewed today at its new home in the Museum gardens.
