Wismer Commons Real Estate
Wismer Commons is one of the newest developing residential area of Markham, Ontario. It is located north of 16th Avenue,west of Highway 48 and east of Kennedy Road. Wismer Commons is named after the Wismer Family, one of the original founding pioneer families of Markham, Ontario. The family of David Wismer, originally from Germany and subsequently Pennsylvania, arrived in Markham Township in 1806.
After the deaths of both David and Lydia Wismer in 1856, the Wismer Family continued to donate property to various community organizations, including the land for the construction of the first school in this area. This original one-room schoolhouse, located near the south west corner of 16th Avenue and Highway 48, was replaced around the year 1864, with a new school to the north, where the present Markham Museum now stands.
The name Wismer Commons can be found on stone plaques erected on both sides of the road at main arterial road entrances of developed regions of the community, such as the intersection of Bur Oak Avenue and McCowan Road.
