The settlement was named after George Lemon Sr. (1774–1834) of Oxford, New Jersey, who was granted land at this location in 1805. Methodist services first took place there in 1854, and the Lemonville Methodist Church (later United Church) was constructed in 1856.[2] McEvoy's Province of Ontario Gazetteer and Directory of 1869 lists Lemonville as a village with a population of 75.[3] In 1877, Lemonville reached a population of 100.[4] Village industries included a boot and shoe factory, carriage works, cabinet maker, woollen mills, and a shoe repair shop. It was bypassed by the Toronto and Nipissing Railway in favour of Stouffville when it was constructed in 1871.[5]
