Carrville Mill, ca. 1910-1920
This year for Archival Awareness Week, the City of Vaughan Archives is featuring historical businesses from Vaughan to see how they have influenced their communities over time! #AAW2025
The Carrville Grist Mill was located along Rutherford Road between Bathurst Road and Dufferin Street in Concord and was erected by Michael Fischer around 1820. Mills and the hydro power they generated were essential for immigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries as people had to make most of the goods they consumed and used. As a result, mills became centers for development. This property was later purchased by Thomas and William Cook and eventually others. The grist mill remained operational until November 1933 when it was destroyed by a fire.
