Living in Markham

The city offers mul­ti­ple appeal­ing attrib­ut­es, includ­ing strong his­toric neigh­bour­hoods, a rich cul­tur­al her­itage, a sta­ble econ­o­my, eth­nic diver­si­ty, effi­cient munic­i­pal ser­vice, and a range of recre­ation­al ameni­ties includ­ing green space, arts, and cul­ture, all of which serve to delight res­i­dents and vis­i­tors to the region.

The city enjoys four-sea­sons with year-round out­door pur­suits and recre­ation­al activ­i­ties, in addi­tion to the numer­ous events and fes­ti­vals that span the whole year. From the Maple Syrup Fes­ti­val to the Wood­bridge Fall Fair to the Win­ter­fest, there are cul­tur­al fes­tiv­i­ties to engage and enter­tain res­i­dents and vis­i­tors.

Employ­ment prospects and sup­port net­works in the GTA make Vaugh­an one of the top des­ti­na­tions for new immi­grants in Cana­da. In fact, about 45 per­cent of the city’s pop­u­la­tion com­pris­es immi­grants, mak­ing it a won­der­ful­ly diverse and mul­ti­cul­tur­al com­mu­ni­ty.

History of Markham

The first set­tle­ments in Vaugh­an came about in 1792 when the town­ships were cre­at­ed. Pri­or to this, the region was occu­pied by the Huron-Wen­dat peo­ple.

The first Euro­pean in the area was Eti­enne Brule, a French explor­er tra­vers­ing the Hum­ber Trail in 1615. But Vaugh­an was con­sid­ered to be very remote with no roads through the region, which made trav­el­ling very hard. But in 1783, a British Com­mis­sion­er, Ben­jamin Vaugh­an, signed a peace treaty with the US and gave the town­ship its name.

Though the ear­ly set­tlers had to endure many hard­ships, the pop­u­la­tion grew sig­nif­i­cant­ly fast, from 54 peo­ple (includ­ing 30 chil­dren) in 1800 to 4,300 peo­ple in just 4 decades. Dur­ing this time, many fam­i­lies moved into the region, includ­ing Penn­syl­va­nia Ger­mans, British fam­i­lies, and French Roy­al­ists.

While most of the first immi­grants were agri­cul­tur­al­ists, many of the fam­i­lies of Eng­lish descent that came after 1814 com­prised high­ly skilled trades­peo­ple who played a big role in grow­ing the com­mu­ni­ty. But in the near­ly 100 years between 1840 and 1935, the pop­u­la­tion of Vaugh­an grew very lit­tle to only 4,873 res­i­dents.

After the Sec­ond World War, there was an influx of immi­gra­tion with the arrival of dif­fer­ent groups includ­ing Jew­ish peo­ple, East­ern Euro­peans, and Ital­ians, among oth­ers, caus­ing the pop­u­la­tion to reach 16,000 in 1960.

In 1850, the town was incor­po­rat­ed as Vaugh­an Town­ship and a munic­i­pal gov­ern­ment formed. The town­ship lat­er merged with the Vil­lage of Wood­bridge, giv­ing rise to the Town of Vaugh­an, which lat­er changed its legal sta­tus in 1991 to become the City of Vaugh­an.

Business in Markham

Vaugh­an boasts a sta­ble econ­o­my, and has fre­quent­ly ranked as one of the best three per­form­ing economies in Cana­da. Strate­gi­cal­ly sit­u­at­ed in the country’s eco­nom­ic cen­tre, Vaugh­an con­tin­ues to estab­lish itself as the hub for eco­nom­ic activ­i­ty in the GTA with great access to inter­na­tion­al mar­kets.

The eco­nom­ic suc­cess of Vaugh­an City is part­ly due to the strong pop­u­la­tion growth. The city has an abun­dance of well edu­cat­ed, savvy, and afflu­ent res­i­dents who gen­er­ate con­sid­er­able demand for the increas­ing­ly var­ied selec­tion of prod­ucts and ser­vices. Vaugh­an boasts a young, mul­ti­cul­tur­al, and tal­ent­ed labour force that say the city lead all Cana­di­an munic­i­pal­i­ties in job cre­ation between 2001 and 2006 with a 22.2 per­cent increase.

FAQ

  • How do home security systems protect against fire and floods?

    In addi­tion to deter­ring intrud­ers, many home secu­ri­ty sys­tems offer pro­tec­tion against envi­ron­men­tal haz­ards such as fire and floods. These sys­tems include sen­sors that can detect changes in heat, smoke, and mois­ture lev­els. If a fire or flood is detect­ed, the sys­tem can trig­ger alarms and send text alerts to home­own­ers or mon­i­tor­ing cen­ters, help­ing to pre­vent or min­i­mize dam­age caused by these dis­as­ters. This added lay­er of pro­tec­tion enhances the over­all safe­ty of your home.

  • What are the “smart home” or home automation features of security systems?

    Mod­ern secu­ri­ty sys­tems offer the con­ve­nience of cre­at­ing a “smart home” through home automa­tion. Using mobile apps, you can not only con­trol and mon­i­tor your secu­ri­ty sys­tem but also man­age oth­er aspects of your home such as light­ing, ther­mo­stat, and more. Home automa­tion pro­vides added secu­ri­ty, con­ve­nience, and the abil­i­ty to effi­cient­ly con­trol util­i­ty expens­es. It’s a way to enhance your over­all lifestyle by seam­less­ly inte­grat­ing tech­nol­o­gy to man­age var­i­ous aspects of your home.
