Woodbridge is a medium sized
town (2001 pop. 69,460) [1] in the city of Vaughan, just north
of Toronto. Its traditional downtown core is the Woodbridge
Ave. stretch between Islington Avenue and Kipling Avenue north
of Highway 7, but its current centre is further east along
Highway 7, between Pine Valley and Weston Road.
The community was founded
as Burwick and was named after Burr. In the 1850s, it was
renamed Woodbridge after a wooden bridge because there was
another settlement named Burwick. Construction of Highway
7 began in the 1900s and the Canadian Pacific rail opened
three overpasses. Hurricane Hazel in the 1950s ruined a bridge
over Highway 7 and devastated much of the community.
In the 1950s, Woodbridge experienced
growth from suburban Toronto houses. The suburban expansion
began east of the Humber and East Humber and to the northeast.
Prior to the expanision, the urban area was up to Kipling
Avenue and to the Humber. It later expanded in the west up
to Martin Grove Road with a north to south width of about
800 m in the 1960s and to the north and portions of the northeast
of Langstaff Road. It later expanded north in the 1970s and
the 1980s. The housing developments in the west expanded north
to Langstaff and in the central part of Woodbridge including
aparth which transformed older stores into smaller units of
housing in the early-1980s and west to Highway 27 in the late-1980s
and in 1992. The houses expanded north to 400 m south of Rutherford
Road in the 1980s and east up to Weston Road from Highway
7 to 400 m south of Rutherford Road and south to 200 m north
of the present-day Highway 407. The Industrial areas began
appear first to the west and then to the southwest and to
the east. The housing developments in mid-1990s expanded Martin
Grove Road northward. Woodbridge Highlands was formed in the
northwest E of Highway 27 in the 1990s. In 1994 housing developments
reached to Rutherford and continued until 1996 except for
the northeast and the southeastern part. The condominiums
began construction and now appear between Woodbridge Avenue
and the Humber. Housing in the 1990s and the early-2000s continued
in the northwest up to Major Mackenzie near Kleinburg and
to the northwest and NE in Vellore Woods and Vellore Village
outside the community. The industrial area is presently expanding
in the west.
The population was 3,000 until
the 1950s, it reached 10,000 in the 1960s, 20,000 in the 1980s,
40,000 in the mid-1980s, 50,000 in the early 1990s, 60,000
in 1997 or 1998, and 70,000 in the 2000s. Woodbridge also
has a large Macedonian, Turkish, and Indian minority.
