Jackson’s Point is named after John Mills Jackson a merchant and political author who settled here in 1828. One of Jackson’s lasting legacies was spearheading the building of St. Georges Anglican Church on Hedge Road. The arrival of the Lake Simcoe Junction railway in 1877 signalled a coming of age for Jackson’s Point both as a commercial centre and a summer playground.

The Jackson’s Point Wharf was a hub of commerce with ice from the lake being shipped by train to Toronto. In the summertime the train provided passage for Toronto residents to the cool waters and tranquil breezes of Lake Simcoe. The Toronto and York Railway began service to Jackson’s Point in 1908, ushering in a new era of prosperity.
