Lincolnville, Whitchurch-Stouffville

Lincolnville is a community and former hamlet situated in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville, Ontario, Canada.

[1] Beyond an inn, saw mills and gravel pits (still in operation),[2] it did not evolve as much as other hamlets in Whitchurch-Stouffville.

Toronto and Nipissing Railway built their line that crossed south in 1877 but stations were only found to the east in Goodwood and west in Stouffville.

[3] The former hamlet remains a rural and mainly agricultural area with a few residential lots.

The hamlet name's origin is unknown but likely shares the same links to Abraham Lincoln as those in the United States and one in Nova Scotia.
