Vaughan – The Place the World Calls Home From its earliest beginnings, Vaughan has been a community that welcomes people of all nationalities. From its agrarian roots, it has evolved to become a major urban centre rich in culture, history and natural heritage. Today, it is a City where industrious and entrepreneurial people have found economic opportunities and proudly built their own legacies. We are known for our pro-business and “can-do” attitude. Our civic brand has attracted investment and high levels of development even in the most difficult of economic times. Our safe neighbourhoods, good schools and beautiful parks and trails, as well as our world-class universities and healthcare attract talented and innovative people who settle, raise families and reinvest in our community.Growth is an important part of the Vaughan vocabulary. Council has set forth policies through Vaughan Vision 2020 and its various master plans, which will enable municipal staff to effectively and efficiently deliver services that support the City’s future growth and development in a sustainable manner. More than providing great neighbourhoods, prestigious employment areas and enriching work, we believe that connecting people through learning, recreation and leisure activities in healthy settings stimulates new ideas and sharing. We invite you to be part of this dynamic City. Welcome to Vaughan!

160 Years of Incredible History

With a proud and industrious heritage, Vaughan has transformed itself from a rural township to a major urban centre.

Vaughan YesterdayEstablished in 1850, the Township of Vaughan was named after Benjamin Vaughan, a British diplomat and co-negotiator of the Treaty of Paris that signaled the end of the American Revolutionary War. Vaughan originated from a collection of rural villages: Woodbridge, Concord, Kleinburg, Maple and Thornhill. Vaughan Township grew relatively slowly from the 1840s to 1935 when it had 4,873 residents.

However, World War II sparked an influx of immigration and by 1960 the population stood at 15,957. At the same time, the ethno-cultural composition of the area began to change with the arrival of groups such as the Italians, Jews and Eastern Europeans. A new civic mindset also began to emerge, heralding new and innovative commercial and industrial development, as well as a respect for the preservation of the area’s heritage.

160 Years of Incredible History

7

With the expansion of water and sewer services in the 1970s, the Township was transformed from a series of rural agricultural villages to one of the fastest growing suburban municipalities in Canada. Vaughan incorporated as a Town in 1971.

Vaughan TodayIn 1991, just twenty years after its incorporation as a Town, Vaughan was incorporated as a City. The decade of the 1990s witnessed explosive growth, as the population grew to more than 111,000 – a pace that continues into the 21st century. In 2006, Vaughan’s population exceeded 238,000 and employment topped 162,000. Provincial and Regional forecasts predict a population of 416,600 people and 266,100 jobs by 2031.
