Most settlers to the Township of Uxbridge came from the Catawissa area of Pennsylvania.\r\n\r\nThe Uxbridge Friends Meeting House which overlooks the town from Quaker Hill was built in 1820, and is the community\u2019s oldest building. The Toronto and Nipissing Railroad arrived in Uxbridge in 1871, and for over a decade Uxbridge was the headquarters of the railway. Shortly after the arrival of the railway, Uxbridge became a village in 1872, and reached town status in 1885.\r\n\r\nA lot of Uxbridge's past has been preserved throughout the township.\u00a0 The Uxbridge Historical Centre is the hub for all things related to Uxbridge History.","link":"https:\/\/larmercoxworth.ca\/category\/uxbridge-history","name":"Uxbridge History","slug":"uxbridge-history","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/larmercoxworth.ca\/fr-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/56","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/larmercoxworth.ca\/fr-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/larmercoxworth.ca\/fr-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/larmercoxworth.ca\/fr-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=56"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
