Beyond the Village Centre
Beyond the heart of old Richmond Hill - but within or at the margin of the town's present boundaries - other small communities or "hamlets" were taking shape around mill sites and at crossroads by the middle of the nineteenth century. At various times in their history, several of these settlements stood poised to rival Richmond Hill as the dominant agricultural and commercial service centre of the region, although none ever succeeded. Whether large or small, growing or declining, each of these communities shaped its residents and helped contribute to the larger fabric that became the Richmond Hill of the late twentieth century.
