Summary from the Ontario Heritage Foundation's website
Among the early settlers in this area were a number of Quakers who, until 1816 when they established their own organization, had formed part of the Yonge Street Meeting. The Whitchurch Quaker group later split into several factions but by 1900 they had come together to form Pine Orchard Union Church.
