HARTLEY The Hamlet of Hartley is just north east of Woodville at the four corners of Lorneville Rd. and Hartley Rd.

It is approximately fifteen minutes from Oakwood, Lindsay and Fenelon Falls. A perfect setting for quiet country living yet minutes to all amenities. WOODVILLE Woodville is a community in kawartha lakes and is just west of Lindsay. Known in the late 1800's as Irish Corners, the name of the town was changed to Woodville after the completion of the post office under postmaster John Morrison. In 1871, the Toronto and Nipissing Railway was built through the flourishing settlement and in 1878 Woodville became a police village. Woodville had a town hall, lock-up, grist-mill, two foundries, a cheese factory, planning mill and sash and door factory, a number of dry good stores, mechanics' shops and three hotels. it also had its own brick school house and two churches. Today, the cheese factory, rail station, grist-mill, mechanics' shops and hotels have all been shut down. Woodville is now home to a grocery store, three restaurants, two variety stores, a post office, one gas station, a bank, a curling rink and an arena, two baseball diamonds, assorted other shops and a newer school first built in 1923. The local post ofice on King St. services locals wih lock boxes and six rural routes. KAWARTHA LAKES The city of Kawartha Lakes is a single-tiered municipality in east-central Ontario. Although designated as a city, at a population density of approximately 75,000 people, it is largely a rural area . The municipality is named after the kawartha Lakes. The main population centres are Bobcaygeon, Fenelon Falls, Lindsay, Omemee and Woodville. The municipality also includes many smaller communities such as Hartley, Grasshill and Cambray. The term Kawartha is an Anglicization of the word Ka-wa-tha (from Ka-wa-tae-gum-maug or Gaawaatemamaag) meaning a word coined in 1895 by aboriginal Martha Whetung of the Curve lake First Nations. The word meant "land of refection" in the Anishinaabe language, according to Martha. The word was subsequently changed by tourism promoters to Kawartha, with the meaning "bright waters and happy lands". The municipality was created in 2000 by the government of Ontario through the amalgamation of the constituent municipalities of the former Victoria County. |
