Midhurst is a community in the Township of Springwater, Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. It is the county seat, and with nearly 3,000 people,[1] the largest population centre in Springwater.
It is location of the Barrie Baycats of the Intercounty Baseball League. Midhurst has a public elementary school, Forest Hill Public School, which is a part of the Simcoe County District School Board.
Midhurst was named after the town of Midhurst, in the United Kingdom.[1] Cowdray Park is also named after the main park in that town.[2] A tree nursery and a saw mill on Willow Creek existed in Midhurst that supplied trees for the province. 'Finlay Mill Road' is so named, as Alex Finlay was its owner.[2] The Midhurst Pioneer Cemetery, no longer in operation, exists near the United Church, along with the non-denominational Midhurst Union Cemetery.[3] Willow Creek featured a grist-mill and hydro power house that supplied electricity to Barrie from 1826 to 1888.[4] The old grist-mill stone stands as a monument near the Finlay Mill bridge.
Midhurst Autumnfest, an annual fall fair, has run from 1969 to present.[5]
Midhurst is located at the junction of Ontario Highway 26 and Ontario Highway 27.
The community has two Simcoe County LINX stops on its Line 1 Penetanguishene/Midland–Barrie bus route, which connects Midhurst to locations along the roughly north-south route.
