Canadian Pacific Railway

Kleinburg

Note; station was actually located in nearby Nashville at what became Nashville Road and Highway 27.
The CPR mainline planned route was altered ("Howland Bend") to serve the large gristmill owned by
William Howland.

Sir William Pearce Howland KCMG CB PC (29 May 1811 – 1 January 1907),
served as the second Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, from 1868 to 1873.
He was one of the Fathers of Confederation.

When preserved it was relocated to Kleinburg which is not actually a municipality.
It is part of the City (formerly, Town) of Vaughan.
