Description From Owner:

Pop. 2,500. In Reg. Mun. of Hamilton-Wentworth on Glen Cr. and C. Rd. 504, 1 km. N of Hwy 8, 4 km. NW of Dundas.
The place was known as Franklin Corners and Joyce's Corners until the post office was established in 1853 as Greensville after pioneer settler William Green who settled in 1799.
A half mi. (.8 km.) W of Greensville was Crook's Hollow, where James Crook operated Upper Canada's first paper mill.
Crook built the mill in 1826 because of the growing domestic market and the high tariff imposed on imported paper.
The mill operated until it was destroyed by fire in 1875. In 1860 Greensville was the home of Ontario's largest distillery, which was converted to a malt house in 1870.
