| MARKHAM AND
UNIONVILLE, ONTARIO |
| Markham  Markham is the largest of nine communities in York Region with a
population of approximately 220,000, and a land area 211.53 square kilometres.
Markham has a blend of four communities - Markham
Village, Unionville, Milliken and Thornhill and is located just north of Toronto in
Ontario, Canada. It is a growing community with new housing developments and businesses,
quality schools, parks and recreational areas. As such, Markham is a mixture of small
town, with some farms in the area, and large town with corporate head offices such as IBM
and American Express.
In terms of community events, Markham celebrates through
village festivals and special events (Unionville and Markham in June, Milliken in August,
Jazz Festival in August, Thornhill in September; Markham Fair in late September; Santa
Claus Parade and Festival of Lights in December).
Plan to visit Town of Markham for the day and you will
find lots of things to see and do!
Unionville
 Unionville is a
suburban community in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Tourism is a major part of Unionville's
economy. The historic village or downtown section of Unionville is typical of a small town
that developed over a century or so starting in the early 1840s through the middle to late
20th century. The historic Main Street Unionville attracts thousands of visitors each year
- as of 2006 it boasted 9 restaurants, including 3 pubs. Main Street also has a number of
"century homes" dating back to the 1800s. Each year, thousands visit Unionville
during the Unionville Festival.
The main street has been used as a stand-in for fictional Connecticut town Stars Hollow
during the first season of The WB's (now The CW) Gilmore Girls television show, as well as
other television and movie backdrops.
