The County Atlas below has green circles around the surviving structures which are featured in this article. The post office was opened in 1873 and it was joined by a wagon maker’s shop, a hotel and a tavern as well as two churches and a handful of houses. Hagerman’s Corners never grew larger than a few buildings centred around the intersection.
The town had been founded in 1803 by Nicholas Hagerman who bought the property on the north west corner of the intersection. By the time of the county atlas in 1877 the land was owned by William Milliken. In fact, one of the four corners of Hagerman’s Corners was owned by Benjamin Milliken who donated land for the local school.
Hagerman’s Corners developed around the intersection of modern day Kennedy Road and 14th Avenue in Markham, just south of Unionville and north of Milliken.
