The Village of Cooksville was first established in 1809. The area that is known today as the busy intersection of Hurontario and Dundas streets was once known as Harrisville named in honor of the first settler of Cooksville, Daniel Harris. In 1836 Harrisville was renamed Cooksville for its prominent pioneer citizen Jacob Cook- one of the first entrepreneurs of the area. Jacob Cook is known for establishing mail routes that ran all across Ontario for 28 years.
Cooksville was once a centre of politics for Toronto Township, is a home to Canada’s first commercial winery.

Fairview, although a small community, is compromised of two distinct neighborhoods that are similar to the Cooksville area. In the late 60s and 70s a lot of Ontario’s new immigrants settled here attracted by close proximity to City Centre. There are a few condo developments that were completed in the 90s and a couple of newer home projects that have been around for about 5 years. Recent years have seen a wave of new immigrants settle in both the condos (new and old) and in the older parts of town.
