The 2011 population of this area was 9,880. Adding Cornell North's 2,178 (from 16th Avenue to Donald Cousens Parkway) it had 12,058 residents.[2] In 2017, MoneySense ranked Cornell as one of the GTA's top 25 neighbourhoods in terms of affordability.[3] HistoryCornell was conceived in the 1990s planning process by the town of Markham. Unlike other Markham communities, Cornell is a planned community. One of the original settlers was Christian Reesor. He and his family settled in Cornell. Their original homestead was on Reesor Road. The name 'Cornell' derives from the maiden name of the wife of Christian Reesor's youngest son, who continued to live at the family homestead.[4] William CornellCornell's name was selected in 1999 from a suggestion by local lawyer Paul Mingay.[5] Mingay's family roots can be traced back to Susan Emily Cornell, a descendant of William Cornell (1766-1860), settler from Rhode Island who came to Canada in 1799 and settled in Scarborough, Ontario in 1800. Later Cornells settled in Markham, Ontario and married into the Reesor family. William Cornell immigrated to Canada from Rhode Island and is a distant relative of Ezra Cornell, founder of Cornell University. Community descriptionMost of the houses are townhomes, semi-detached, or detached houses with garages at the rear. The communities are built with central amenities in order to contain suburban sprawl. Cornell was seen by the Markham Town Council as a way to deter the ongoing sprawl by encouraging residential density. The community, particularly Cornell Village, is designed as a walkable neighborhood with a variety of housing types and retail. Cornell Village, between Highway 7 and 16th Avenue, is fully populated with medium density residential. The southern section of Cornell (south of Highway 7), however, is not populated, and remains as a wild field and a farm. In 2012, the City of Markham completed Fire Station 99 to serve the area. DemographyCornell is a diverse community.[6] {{canada_census|2006_population=Estimated 12,000 |2006_pop_delta=+125.4 |2006_land_area=30.33 |2006_pop_density=400 |2006_pop_rank=N/A |2006_median_age=34.1 |2006_median_age_m=37.5 |2006_median_age_f=39.0 |2006_total_pvt_dwell=4,568 |2006_total_pvt_dwell_usual=3,565 |2006_mean_hh_income=78,317 |2006_access_date=2009-02-24 }} Subdivisions within CornellCornell can be further separated by development phases:
The remaining portions of Cornell are still non-agricultural grasslands, but it will slowly disappear with further development. In 2004 there was a plan to create a residential and retail development called "Cornell Town Centre" along the southern end of Cornell.[7] This plan never materialized and most of the area has since been re-developed as residential homes. The man-made recreational Cornell Lake is now a series of ponds that carries the waters of Little Rouge Creek in Grand Cornell development. TransportationAirThis area is mainly served by Toronto Pearson International Airport for civilian air travel. The development is not far from the proposed Pickering Airport and once one of the sites for landfills in the Greater Toronto Area. While runway 10R/28L will still be within Pickering, the southwest end of the property will be located north of 16th Avenue and 9th Line. Toronto/Markham Airport is located north in Dickson Hill, Ontario is a privately owned general aviation airfield. Public transitTransportation links to the community include GO Transit, and York Region Transit. The Markham-Stouffville Hospital YRT Terminal temporarily serves Cornell with several YRT routes:
The Markham Stouffville Hospital Terminal is a temporary terminal serving Cornell and the nearby areas. The York Region Transit authority is currently building a permanent bus terminal, Cornell Terminal, located at Donald Cousens Parkway and Highway 7. The temporary terminal at Markham Stouffville Hospital will shut down upon completion of the new terminal. The plans for the new terminal may include connections with Durham Region Transit. The completion date is not yet to be known. There is also one VIVA line serving the area, Viva Purple. Viva Purple terminates at the Markham Stouffville Hospital as well, with plans in the future stretching to Cornell Terminal. RoadMajor roads and highways in the community include: Arterial roads
