Schomberg (2016 population 2,691{{sfn|Statistics Canada: 2016 census}}) is an unincorporated village in northwestern King, Ontario, Canada located north of the Oak Ridges Moraine and south of the Holland River.

Schomberg is accessed via Highway 9, which links Orangeville and Newmarket; via Highway 27 linking Barrie and Toronto; and the Lloydtown-Aurora Road. Its main street is York Regional Road 76, a curved avenue separate from the local major highways.

History

This area was occupied for thousands of years by varying indigenous cultures of First Nations peoples.

Brownsville was founded by Irish settlers who had immigrated to Canada from Pennsylvania in the United States.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=116}} It was named for its founder, businessman Thomas Brown (born 13 May 1802), who was one of twelve siblings born in Pennsylvania, and one of four who emigrated to Upper Canada.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=10-11}} About 1830, his farmer brother John R. Brown (born 3 June 1811) settled on lot 26, concession 8, establishing the rural community.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=11}} Thomas built the community's only flour mill in 1836, stimulating development. The mill was eventually bought by their brother Garrett, who also established the first bank in the community.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=11}} For postal service, residents used the post office in the nearby community of Lloydtown.

In 1861, the community applied for a post office, but was rejected because another post office with the name Brownsville was already in operation in York County. (That community is now part of Woodbridge in Vaughan.) In 1862, the community was renamed Schomberg, a name suggested by Thomas Roberts Ferguson,{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=14}} and its post office was established. The name was likely for The 3rd Duke of Schomberg and 1st Duke of Leinster, K.G. (1641-1719), a general under King William III of England.[2]

On 6 June 1890, the town was one of many flooded as a result of a storm in the eastern United States and Canada.{{sfn|Los Angeles Herald|p=1}} The flood destroyed buildings, leaving many residents homeless and businesses ruined, and swept away two mill dams.{{sfn|Los Angeles Herald|p=1}} It also carried one building downstream, where it came to rest on a farm.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=18}} In Ontario, the storm also caused flooding in Barrie, Brooklin, Greenwood, and Orangeville.{{sfn|Los Angeles Herald|p=1}}

On 25 March 1899, the community was established as a police village.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=23}} In 1902, the Traders Bank of Canada (now part of the Royal Bank of Canada) established the first commercial bank in Schomberg,{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=31}} and in January 1920 the Imperial Bank of Canada (now part of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce) established a branch.{{sfn|Love|Sawdon|p=32}}

For some time in the early 20th century, the town was the terminus of the Schomberg and Aurora Railway that connected to the Toronto and York Radial Railway on Yonge Street, some distance to the east. The railway was constructed to bring shoppers and day-trippers from Toronto to the town, but was never very popular. Opened for traffic in 1902, it was electrified in 1916 and closed in 1927. The rails were removed the next year, but the right of way can still be seen to the east of the town.

Urbanization of the community occurred primarily in the southwestern part, with small developments. In the 1950s and 1960s, housing was developed near the centre, and in the 1990s in the Roselena Drive area. Two developments in the 2010s added 147 detached homes, 52 semi-detached homes, 29 townhouses, and a 127-unit six-storey condominium.[3]

Climate

Schomberg has a continental climate moderated by the Great Lakes and influenced by warm, moist air masses from the south, and cold, dry air from the north. The Oak Ridges Moraine affects levels of precipitation: as an air mass arrives from Lake Ontario and reaches the elevated ground surface of the moraine, it rises causing precipitation.[4]
