Gormley is a hamlet in York Region, Ontario, Canada that overlaps parts of Richmond Hill, and Whitchurch–Stouffville, two municipalities within the Greater Toronto Area.

A portion of Gormley situated within Richmond Hill's political boundaries is subject to "Heritage Conservation District" controls.

At the time of European settlement, Gormley was a black ash swamp which provided timber for many early pioneer buildings.

[4] A hamlet grew around the store, which straddled the townships of Markham to the south and Whitchurch to the north, both in the County of York.

[7] A rail line owned by Canadian National Railway runs through West Gormley; it is CN's primary freight corridor connecting Greater Toronto to Northern Ontario and Western Canada.

The arrival of the railway was significant in the development of New Gormley, as a cluster of businesses that relied on the rail service grew up around the station.

Ken Baker (June 19, 1932-October 31, 2021), a lifelong resident of New Gormley had a big influence on the nearby community of Oak Ridges.

In the late 1940s, he, along with his father and his brother dug what is now known as the Baker's Pits, 2 ponds north of Lake Wilcox that add to the community and make for a scenic walk in the park.

After a "due diligence review," Transport Canada released the report in July 2011 and announced the decision to proceed in June 2013.
