Maxville is an unincorporated community in North Glengarry, Ontario, Canada. It is recognized as a designated place by Statistics Canada.
Since 1948, Maxville is host to the annual Glengarry Highland Games.[3]
Its economy mostly depends on services to surrounding agricultural businesses.[3]
Maxville was formed in 1869, formerly also called Mac’s Corners and Macsville.[4] It was named after the many "Macs" of Scottish Highland origin living there. In 1881, the Canada Atlantic Railway was completed and a station was built in Maxville, resulting in quick growth. In 1891, Maxville was incorporated as a village municipality.[3]
On July 5, 1910, the railway station burnt down, but a replacement one was built immediately. It closed in 1988 and demolished in the fall of 1998.[4]
On January 1, 1998, the Village of Maxville, the Town of Alexandria, and the Townships of Kenyon and Lochiel were amalgamated into the new Township of North Glengarry.[5]
