Ruskview is an unincorporated rural community in Mulmur Township, Dufferin County, Ontario, Canada.
[1][2] Located within the Niagara Escarpment, on the highest bluff overlooking the Pine River valley, Ruskview has been described as "the most scenic of the Escarpment's ghost towns", with a view described as "spectacular".
In 1883, a post office opened at the original Blackbank and was named "Ruskview", after William Rusk, an early settler, as well as for the scenic view of the valley from the settlement.
[4][7] Mail was brought to Ruskview twice weekly by horseback or by foot, delivered by 15 year-old Seymour Newell.
The first postmaster was Joseph Reid, who had built a house, store, and blacksmith shop.
