Creemore

Creemore (from Irish Croí Mór 'big heart') is a former village, now part of Clearview Township, located in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada.

French explorer Samuel de Champlain first visited the Creemore area in 1616 to promote trade with the Petun, a First Nations tribe.

The settlement of Creemore began in 1842, and by the turn of the century it was a thriving village of about 800 people with a vibrant business community.

He paid tribute to his family by naming the original streets after them: Elizabeth (for his wife and daughter), Francis and Wellington (for his sons), and Alice and William (for his parents).

In 1993, the amalgamation of Sunnidale, Nottawasaga, Village of Creemore and the Town of Stayner took place and it became Clearview Township.
