History

The original one room school is now only a small segment of Maple Grove Public School, however when it was built, it was one of only two schools to serve the entire Township of Trafalgar. The original building was constructed according to the design recommended by Superintendent of Education, Eggerton Ryerson. Pupils attending the school were bounded by Dundas Street, Eighth Line, Town Line and Lake Ontario.
