Maxville... the “soul”
of Glengarry County!
Maxville’s roots stretch back to 1869, the year
Duncan MacDougall constructed a sawmill on the
site of the future village. Within a few years, the
mill was joined by Peter McEwen’s general store
and Hugh McEwan’s blacksmith shop.
Named “Macksville” after the numerous Macs
living in the area, the village flourished as a
commercial hub for the young farming community.
In 1882, the village received an added boost when it
was chosen as a stop on the new railway line
between Montreal and Ottawa. Ten years later, the
village was incorporated and continued to grow until
1900, when its population numbered 749 people.
To this day, the village remains as an important
cultural centre and a delightful place for growing
families, retirees, and visitors alike.
