HistoryAs European immigrants moved to the area in the early 1800s, the settlement was first called Rotenburg. Between 1827 and 1840, of the 48 settlers who arrived in Rotenburn, 36 were from Alsace and 12 were from Baden. A particularly large number arrived from Soufflenheim, Alsace, between 1828 and 1860. By 1832, there were 69 families in Rotenburg, and a population of 307.[4] The settlement was renamed New Germany, and German language newspapers sometimes referred to the settlement as Neu Deutschland.[4] In 1916, a historian wrote of the pioneer settlement:
A school was erected in 1832, which served as a church on Sunday. It was the first Catholic church in the region.[4] St. Boniface Roman Catholic Church was established near the school in 1834, named for Saint Boniface, the apostle of Germany.[6][7] The current church was erected in 1877.[6] In 1852, a two-room brick school was built. During the winter the school enrolled over 100 students.[5] St. Boniface Hotel was erected in 1850, and for 70 years it was used as a stop for the stagecoach carrying mail and passengers between Waterloo and Guelph.[8] The early settlement had a blacksmith shop, brewery, cobbler, cooper, tailor, and three hotels.[7] Between 1860 and 1865, New Germany was afflicted by smallpox with "especial severity", and many residents had badly marked faces throughout their lives.[5] A post office was established in 1879.[9] In 1941, Canada Post requested that New Germany change its name because mail arriving from overseas was being misdirected to New Germany, Nova Scotia. Canadian Post suggested the name "Gort", after a British commander, or "Wavell", after a British General in Egypt. The community instead selected Maryhill; "Mary" because of their historical Catholic faith, and "hill" because of a prominent hill in the settlement.[4] Parks and recreationMaryhill Heritage Park and Community Centre features a playground, ball diamond, group open space, multi-purpose court, soccer fields, outdoor ice rinks, and group picnic area.[10] References1. ^1 {{cite web | title = Census Profile, 2016 Census - Maryhill | publisher = Statistics Canada | url = http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2016/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=DPL&Code1=350114&Geo2=PR&Code2=61&Data=Count&SearchText=Maryhill&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=All&TABID=1 | accessdate = March 30, 2017}} {{WaterlooRegion}}2. ^1 {{cite web | title = Maryhill | publisher = Natural Resources Canada | date = October 6, 2016 | url = http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/unique/FCDTF}} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Woolwich | publisher = Statistics Canada | date = November 2, 2016 | url = http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p3VD.pl?CLV=4&CPV=3530035&CST=01012011&CVD=116949&Function=getVD&MLV=4&TVD=116940}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web | title = The History of Maryhill | publisher = The Historical Society of St. Boniface & Maryhill Community | url = http://maryhillroots.com/history/ | accessdate = March 30, 2017}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite book | last = Spetz | first = Theobald | title = The Catholic Church in Waterloo County: Book I | publisher = The Catholic Register and Extension | year = 1916 | url = https://archive.org/stream/catholicchurchin00spetuoft/catholicchurchin00spetuoft#page/n0/mode/1up | pages = 50, 63, 69}} 6. ^1 {{cite web | title = St Boniface RC Church | publisher = The Historical Society of St. Boniface & Maryhill Community | url = http://maryhillroots.com/priests-st-boniface-rc-church/ | accessdate = March 31, 2017}} 7. ^1 {{cite web | title = History | publisher = Maryhill Inn | url = http://maryhillinn.com/history/ | accessdate = March 30, 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web | title = History | publisher = Maryhill Inn | url = http://maryhillinn.com/history/ | accessdate = March 30, 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web | title = Maryhill | publisher = Library and Archives Canada | date = May 27, 2014 | url = http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/postal-heritage-philately/post-offices-postmasters/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=15609&}} 10. ^{{cite web | title = Maryhill Heritage Community Park | publisher = Woolwich Township | url = http://www.woolwich.ca/modules/facilities/Detail.aspx?CategoryIds=&FacilityTypeIds=&Keywords=&Page=4&CloseMap=false&Scroll=true&id=bcf30fa9-8825-46a5-8765-7e57f6cb4365 | accessdate = March 30, 2017}} 2 : Communities in Waterloo Region, Ontario|Woolwich, Ontario |
