History Markham was first surveyed as a township in 1793 by William Berczy (Johann Albrecht Ulrich Moll 1744-1813), first settled in 1794 and incorporated as a town in 1972. Markham is the fourth-most populous municipality in the Greater Toronto Area, and home to many cultures. Explosive growth in new subdivisions has led to a jump in population since the 1980s. Much of Markham's farmland has disappeared, now found well north of 16th Avenue . Concerns from environmentalists and concerns with the future of the Oak Ridges Moraine will impact the extent of growth of the northern portion of Markham. |
