Kleinburg is a small, unincorporated village located in The City of
Vaughan. Kleinburg is comprised of a narrow section of hilly
landscape situated between two branches of the Humber river. The historic
village is bounded by Highway 27 on the west and Stegman's Mill Road to the east. Kleinburg is the home of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection,
a major art gallery, and the Kortright Centre for Conservation
The settlement of many early villages in Ontario was directly related to the establishment of a local industry. Kleinburg, like many
riverside villages developed around the existence of numerous mills. In 1848, John Nicholas Kline bought 83 acres of Lot 24 in Concession 8, west of Islington
Avenue. On this land, Kline built a sawmill and a gristmill. Land plans from 1848 show Lot 24 in Concession 8 divided into smaller, individual,
one-quarter acre lots, thus encouraging the establishment of a village core. The
Kline mills not only served the local farming community, but became the impetus
for a growing commercial centre.
Kleinburg is home to the Binder Twine Festival, held yearly in the
month of September. The tradition of the Binder Twine Festival originated with Charles Shaw Jr.
who, in the 1890's, began the distribution of binder twine to the local farmers. Binder
twine was used to tie together sheaves of wheat. The farmers would
purchase from Charles Shaw Jr. their yearly supply of binder twine. Legend
iondicatess that the Shaws gave their binder twine customers a dinner in
appreciation of their business. The modest dinner eventually became
a large community festival complete with games, refreshments and entertainment. The
Binder Twine Festival was held once a year until 1930 and was subsequently
revived in 1967.
Kleinburg is also home to the Toronto International Film Studios, a centre for television and motion picture
production. Several famous movie stars are often spotted around Kleinburg, making it a popular tourist/gawker
attraction.
