Maple is a large neighbourhood in Vaughan, York Region, Ontario, Canada, north of Toronto.
Maple is located across Highway 400 from Woodbridge and still-rural areas of Vaughan to the southwest and northwest respectively, and Concord to the south across Rutherford Road.
The northern part of Maple is still largely rural and contains the communities of Hope and Teston, although industrial development is occurring along the Highway 400 corridor east to Jane Street, and there are some residential areas along Keele.
Major Mackenzie has an interchange with Highway 400 in the west, as does Rutherford Road 2 km to the south, at the district's southwestern corner.
The Nobles settled around the present Major Mackenzie Drive and Keele Street intersection in the early half of the 19th century.
Later, a Doctor Rupert lived in Maple and was such a respected member of the community that the town’s name was changed to Rupertsville.
Small housing developments began in the 1960s in the southwest, as well as replacement of homes damaged in the August 1962 fire and explosion at an industrial propane depot.
[6] In 1983 the Keele Valley Landfill was opened on the site of a former gravel pit north of Major Mackenzie, east of the CN line to Dufferin Street.
[8] Many streets in the residential area later built on the site were named after aircraft makes and models such as Avro, Lockheed, and Mustang.
Maple's proximity to Toronto and its major transportation corridors, have led to the heavy development and population growth.
