Ontario Tourism Region : Bruce Peninsula, Southern Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe
Description From Owner:
- Pop. 413. In Tosorontio T., Simcoe C., on C. Rds. 13 & 21, 40 km. SW of Barrie. Local landowner Thomas Crosbie had named the community Forestlea, but when the Grand Trunk Railway arrived in 1878 the station was named New Airlie.
- There was already a village named Airlie nearby, so a new name was chosen to avoid confusion. Lisle was chosen from a popular song of the day, Annie Lisle.
