It was also the only small historic urban village within an amalgamated suburban city in the Greater Toronto Area well offset from the centre of its present municipality and not being the obvious core to have its status as the official downtown.

However, being small and becoming largely relegated to being a community node near the far eastern part of the amalgamated municipality's urban area as development progressed over the years, that changed when the city decided a larger, more centrally-located downtown was needed.

This decrease in population is likely due to aging demographics and the lack of major new developments in the area.

The community centre is configured on a north-south axis, where as the old Agricultural Hall was east-west with much of it now occupied by the current day parking lot.

The market features local products and live entertainment and runs every Saturday from 8am to 1pm from May to October.

It is not formally recognized by the City nor in most maps and included as informally within Markham Village.
