Summary
| Description |
Tillsonburg is a town in Oxford County, Ontario, Canada with a population of 20,630 located about 50 kilometres southeast of London, on Highway 3 at the junction of Highway 19 the closest route to Highway 401 at Ingersoll, Ontario. The area was settled in 1825 by George Tillson and other immigrants from Enfield, Massachusetts. A forge and sawmill were erected and roads built which led to the establishment of this small community, originally called Dereham Forge. The settlement was on the Big Otter Creek. In 1836 the village was renamed Tillsonburg in honour of its founder. It was also in this year that the main street, Broadway, was laid out to its full 100-foot (30 m) width. Because the village was predominantly a logging and wood product centre, the street was built to accommodate the turning of three-team logging wagons. This width is now unique to Ontario and has become a benefit toward handling the pressures of modern-day traffic by providing angled parking. The extension of Broadway north was called Plank Line and is now known as King's Highway 19. Tillsonburg serves a regional tri-county area of 120,000 people at the confluence of Oxford, Elgin and Norfolk counties. The industrial base has become quite diverse during the decline of the once prominent tobacco industry. The area is home to several branch plants of major US-based automotive suppliers including Autoneum, Systemair, THK Rythym Automotive, Future Transfer, . There are many service-related industries including , Marwood Metal Fabrication Ltd., Otter Valley Foods, E & E McLauglin Ltd., J/E Bearing Ltd., Fleetwood Metal Products, and MIL-SIM-FX International Inc. The town is served by the Tillsonburg District Memorial Hospital which serves as the health centre for the entire tri-county region. The Ministry of Health funds the hospital for a catchment area of 120,000 people. The town was the 3rd fastest growing community in Canada during the 2021 census (for either of a Census Metropolitan Area or Census Agglomeration). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tillsonburg en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_Creative_Commons_... |
