By 1830 a post office had been established and the village was named York. St. John's Parish Hall was built in 1845 by George Hacon and was the first Anglican church in Haldimand County. By the 1860's the village of York was a bustling centre along the Grand River with a population of about 500.(Submitted on October 23, 2023, by Tim Boyd of Hamilton, Ontario.)
