Community Information
Settlers, predominantly Scots, began arriving in Thorah
Township in the 1820's. Around Calder's mill grew the village of
Milton (later called Beaverton) which, in time, had grist, flour,
saw and Woollen mills, a tannery, a foundry, tradesmen and stores.
Churches and schools also appeared.
In 1870 Beaverton became the terminus, for a time, of Port Hope,
Lindsay, Beaverton Railway, and in 1884 an incorporated village.
Population growth in this area slowed down in the late 1800's
with movement to larger centres and to Western Canada.
By 1900 Lake Simcoe's transportation advantages had waned, but
it's recreation benefits increased. The coming of a second
railway, the Canadian National, boosted tourism.
The 20th Century has seen many changes. Lakeview Manor opened in
1967. Today Seeburn Division of Ventra Group Inc. is the largest
employer. Beaverton, and it's 5500 residents, provide services for
the surrounding countryside, the tourist industry, and a growing
retirement and commuter community.
