With nearly 3,000 people,[1] it is the largest population centre in Springwater. It is home to the Barrie Baycats of the Intercounty Baseball League. Midhurst has a public elementary school, Forest Hill Public School, which is a part of the Simcoe County District School Board. HistoryMidhurst was named after the town of Midhurst, in the United Kingdom.[1] Cowdray Park is also named after the main park in that city.[2] A tree nursery and a saw mill on Willow Creek existed in Midhurst that supplied trees for the province. 'Finlay Mill Road' is so named, as Alex Finlay was its owner.[2] The Midhurst Pioneer Cemetery, no longer in operation, exists near the United Church, along with the non-denominational Midhurst Union Cemetery.[3] Willow Creek featured a grist-mill and hydro power house that supplied electricity to Barrie from 1826 to 1888.[4] The old grist-mill stone stands as a monument near the Finlay Mill bridge. Midhurst Autumnfest, an annual fall fair, has run from 1969 to present. [5][8] Notable people
