A Glimpse Into Sawmill Valley’s Rich History
Did you know? The name “Sawmill Valley” dates back to the 1800s, when the area was home to bustling sawmills powered by the local creek. Though the mills are long gone, their legacy lives on in the neighbourhood’s name and character.
From John Carey’s 19th-century brewery and the Crozier sawmill to Henry McGill’s mill south of Dundas Street, Sawmill Valley’s past is filled with fascinating stories that shaped the community we know and love today.
