The ANDREW COOK Genealogy

JACOB COOK

The third child of ANDREW and ANNA CHRISTINA (PALMER) COOK, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania on April 26th, 1796. He came to "Upper Canada" with his parents in 1804, and was, no doubt, called upon at a very early age to endure the rigors of pioneer life, and to make a man's contribution to the betterment of the family's position.

The earliest specific record of Jacob, other than the particulars of his birth, is in the Fall of 1810, when a group of pioneer settlers gathered in Toronto Township to discuss the erection of a Church in the area now known as Cooksville. The following is a part of a reported conversation —

"..Is Andrew Laird coming, does anyone know? I think they've taken Elizabeth to York to have her baptized, said Allen Robinet. That was their plan at any rate, according to Jacob Cook. And by the way, I think we can count on Jacob and his father, Andrew. They plan to move here when their affairs at Ancaster are settled; Jacob would like to get work under the government—carrying mail or something—but feels he hasn't a chance as long as Gore is in the saddle."

This reference is to the then Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Francis Gore. It does indeed, appear that Jacob Cook objected to the manner in which Gore administered the authority of Great Britain's rule over this raw, new colony, for Jacob’s name appears as a signatory on a Petition to the Prince Regent ("May it please your Royal Highness," etc.) deploring the administration of Sir Francis Gore ("it is with the deepest Regret we are compelled to state to your Royal Highness that the intentions of your Royal Father have been rendered abortive and unsuccessful by the Intrigue and Corruption of designing and interested Men, who have been placed in the Government of this Colony") év The Petition is dated September, 1811, and Jacob must have signed it when 15 Years of age. Gore was, in fact, replaced as Lieutenant—Governor in 1818, and recalled to England in 1820.

As will be seen shortly, Jacob actually did work for the Government beginning in 1820, so that his early fears that he would not get government work when Gore was in authority appear to have had some grounds.

After reported volunteer service in the War of 1812, Jacob took up residence in Toronto Township, County of Peel, Ontario, in 1815 on the 200 acre property granted to his father.

It is said that Jacob was — travelling from Toronto Township to Ancaster with a scythe on his shoulder, when he met, near Palermo, an old man who owned 100 acres of land, and Jacob was persuaded to buy it for $30.00 and was given a long time to pay for it. This proved to be the very land on which the village is now built."

The actual indenture covering this property, places its location as Lot No. 16, Concession 1, South of Dundas Street, Toronto Township, County of Peel, Ontario. The Deed was registered on September 9th, 1819.

No price was specified in the document, but Andrew (Jacob's father) was one of the witnesses and the original owner was David Shannon.

During the same year, 1819, Jacob married Anna Ogden, a daughter of Joseph Ogden and Hannah Ann (Jones) Ogden, and built a one and a half story frame house on the S.E. corner of present Highway No. 5 and No. 10, where the Royal Bank now stands.

(NOTE Jacob's wife - Anna G. Ogden was the sister of Samuel Gass Ogden, who married Sarah Ann Cook], Jacob's younger sister.

Luke Cook

At about this time, Jacob Cook adopted as his son, the infant boy, "Luke", born in New York State, November 3rd, 1818 to Jacob's sister, Elizabeth Cook.

Elizabeth had been married in 1817 to a man with the French name "Compeign" who was killed in a logging accident a few months later Jacob strongly disapproved of this marriage, and insisted that Luke take the name of Cook—consequently Luke grew up with Jacob's family.

(Please note: The foregoing narrative is a rather cumbersome one and the so-called marriage to some one named Compeign is no where else mentioned. The subject has (I believe) been successfully argued by other descendants of Elizabeth and Andrew's that in fact no such marriage ever occurred as the name itself:

1. Contextually rare. The French-Canadian equivalents found during the same time period are not spelled in like manner.
2. The child's name could have been changed to "Cook" without the laborious and still non-specific explanation, and without Elizabeth losing all parental her rights to her son who would have had a legitimate family name already, regardless of Jacob's so-called opposition to it.
3. And, it is clear based on the commentaries of other Cook family descendants regarding the matter, that they believed Elizabeth had been married at least four times (before) marrying Andrew Markle, when in fact, that was utterly untrue. It was only when a direct granddaughter of Elizabeth and Andrew's was discovered during the Houser's research and she contested the other descriptions, that we are forced to reexamine the narrative. She also had evidence!

Andrew Markle and Elizabeth Cook were married companions for over fifty years and the parents of three daughters. So, in short,... a woman who was "remembered" as having been married so many times, was being politely being recalled as someone who "got around". And in Elizabeth's era this description was often used for women who'd had a child outside of marriage.

Elizabeth was my direct-line great, great, great-grandmother. I'm confident there never was a "Compeign" marriage. And I doubt it a coincidence that one of Elizabeth's daughters married a man named "John Compaign" (same pronunciation) who was born in New York (just as had been Elizabeth's son, Luke, who Jacob supposedly adopted in order to change his family name from Compeign to Cook). And if somehow there was a relationship between the so-called "Compeign" and John Compaign, it was never recorded or rememberd by any member of his family I researched.

If you haven't already guessed, it was also a rather effective manner, even shrewd way of legitimizing the family name for a child who precisely needed legitimization, which Jacob Cook would have cared a great deal about!) It was merely added convenience that were he born out of wedlock, his last name would have remained the same 'after' Jacob adopted him. And finally, it seems specifically dubious, that someone who Jacob Cook had such "hostile refrain for" who still could not be remembered by name. And Luke himself is never recalled to mention anything about the subject at all. If Lukes's actual father was named "Compeign" and if Jacob Cook wanted all remembrance of him erased from the family history, he never would have referenced it in the first place!

Jacob and Anna were to have twelve children of their own;

1. HANNAH COOK DAVIS
2. ANNA CHRISTINA PALMER COOK TEETER
3. JACOB COOK Jr
4. MARY CAROLINE COOK LANGDON
5. WILLIAM COOK
6. GIDEON COOK
7. PIZARIUS COOK
8. HENRIETTA AUGUSTA COOK SHEPARD
9. MILES WASHINGTON COOK
10. ELIZABETH NAOMI COOK
11. CHARLES W. COOK and
12. ELIZA MAHALIA COOK

In 1820, Jacob contracted with the Government to carry His Majesty's Mail —an arrangement which was destined to endure for almost thirty years. This mail contract marked the beginning of one of the most successful business careers in the early history of Ontario.

Information obtained at the Ontario Archives, Toronto, shows that Jacob first carried mail from Ancaster to York (now Toronto) a distance of some 45 miles.

In spite of poor conditions of the roads, which were really no more than rough trails, the trip was made either on horseback or on foot. It is said that on occasion, Jacob had to have the ice chopped from around his stirrups at either end of the route (from fording the rivers in winter) so that he could remove his feet to dismount.

Within a few years, Jacob had mail and passenger stage-coach routes running to Kingston, York, Hamilton, Queenston, Niagara, Brantford, London, Galt, Preston, and Goderich. He was, in fact, the first man to carry the mail between many of these points. The development of this communication network was an important contribution to the rapid growth of the entire area.

An interesting facet of early mail service was that the recipient of the letter, not the sender, was required to pay. The rates were exceedingly high, and the mail contracts might be considered as having been profitable, although the physical labour involved was indeed significant. Prepayment of postage on letters and the use of postage stamps was not introduced into Canada until 1851.

Returning here to the Andrew Cook Genealogy:

A selection of comments from the Cook Genealogy adds a great deal to our understanding of stagecoach travel and provides a colorful background to this era of Jacob's life —

What a scene it must have been in those days of stage—coaching! The great yellow coaches rolling in from the four points of the compass! Horses tramping and Jingling their harness, anxious to get to the manger. Drivers giving a blast of their horns before dashing for the welcome warmth of the hotel dining room. Coaches, mud-splashed, pushed out of the road for the next comers. (Travellers exchanging gossip of the road over the bountiful meals of the early days. What an array of news of the outside world must have been assembled there on occasions! What notables must have swung along in the old coaches beneath Canada's giant elms and maples!"

It must be remembered that in stagecoach days, the science of road building in this land was a thing undreamed of, and the best roads of the country were known as Plank roads. These were good enough in the summer when everything was dry, and in the winter when everything was frozen up, but in the Spring and Fall—well, they were different.

The stage would leave Hamilton in the early morning, four big heavy horses pulling it.

If they refused to be sociable in any way, a lurch of the stage would throw them unceremoniously in a heap. The mud of the road was so deep and soft at these times of the year that the coach would sink to the hubs in many places, and it was no uncommon thing for passengers to have to get out and walk for miles of the way.

"The Owners of the Stage Lines in 1831”

As far as my memory will serve me now, the persons who owned stages and ran the lines of that day were Mr. Cook of Cooksville, Township of Toronto, between Hamilton and York as it was called; Mr. Charles Thompson, from York north to Holland Landing; Mr. Stevenson, Hamilton to St. Catharine’s, and Mr. Weller, York to Kingston, eastward.

The travelling on these lines was sometimes very crowded, always amusing and often inconvenient when females were in the coaches, owing to the crowding and intermingling of, shall I say, legs or limbs, as the term for modesty's sake should be called. The stage had stopping places where the usual refreshments could be had. It took one full day to go from Hamilton to York on the government road.

WELL, WE WILL NOW START OFF, SAY AT SEVEN O'CLOCK.

All aboard for York passengers, Toot, Toot, Toot, Toot! Crack the whip off we go.

"The old-time stage proprietor was looked upon as the salt of the earth, not that he had any outstanding qualifications as a rule any more than our modern M.P.P. or bank managers, but people who hold favours in the hollow of their hands are always treated with great deference.

All the proud virtue of this vaunting world fawns on success and power. The highest ambition of the young man in early days was to be a stage driver, not that the remuneration could have been any inducement as they received ten or twelve dollars a month, but the exciting life seemed to overcome the many hardships."

With the increasing traffic by stage-coach, much of it meeting for transfer at Cooksville, Jacob recognized a new opportunity, and built a Hotel —The Cooksville House, on the north-west corner of Dundas Street and the Centre Road, receiving his first tavern license in 1829. The Hotel was eventually sold and was renamed "Ye Old Revere House"- it still stands today (1970). On the opposite corner, he built a store where the Canadian Bank of Commerce is now situated.

In 1831, Jacob purchased 100 acres in Beverly Township. This was the North Half of Lot No. 21, Concession 4, and was obtained for the sum of 75 pounds from the Estate of one Thomas Clark. Jacob sold this property to his brother James in 1833, for the sum of 100 pounds, together with a payment of 5 shillings to Jacob's wife Anna, for release of her Dower rights in the same property.

On May 7th, 1846, Jacob's wife Anna (Ogden) Cook passed away at the age of 44, leaving behind her seven children, the eldest nearly 26, and the youngest 8 years old.

Another six children had died within the last 12 years of her life.

Of the seven living, one was Jacob's adopted son, Luke.

During this review, we have overlooked still another important aspect of Jacob's importance to the community in which he lived, and to the whole area as well.

He was a Lieutenant of Militia (inactive in this Period)

a Magistrate from about 1820 on...

on the Grand Jury in 1836

a Justice of the Peace from 1843

and a Road Commissioner for the Home District as of 1846.

Jacob disposed of his mail contract activity in about 1849, and continued to deal extensively in Real Estate, buying many properties, and disposing of some.

In 1862, at the age of 66, he married a second time to Mrs. Sarah (Hayes) Crewe, widow of Dr. William Crewe of Cooksville who had died in 1861.

In these later years, Jacob retired from most activities and little is heard of him until the recording of his death on March 3 1873, at the age of 77.

He is buried—as are most of his Family and associates—the early pioneers of Toronto Township; in the Dixie Union Cemetery, Cawthaw Road and Dundas Street in Cooksville, Ontario.

Jacob is buried next to Anna, his first wife.

Jacob’s second wife, Sarah (Crewe) Cook died five years later in 1878 and is buried next to her first husband, Dr. William Crewe. The Brampton Conservator of October 4th, 1878 carried her obituary which is quite interesting

On the morning of the 27th of Sept. after a lingering illness, quietly and calmly passed away the spirit of one of our earliest settlers — Mrs. Sarah Crewe Cook of Stafford House, Cooksville. Born at Newcastle under Lynne, Staffordshire, England on the 27th of March, 1805, the deceased lady was thus in her 74th year.

Emigrating to Canada shortly after the year 1834 with her husband, Dr. Crewe had settled himself in practice in Etobicoke where they remained for three years before coming to Cooksville.

From the beginning she faithfully performed the duties of a doctor's wife amid the attendant hardships that usually accompany the establishment of the profession in a strange country and sparsely settled district until bereft of her partner on the 25th of May, 1861, who left her in full and absolute possession, by will, of everything he owned, which consisted mainly of the Crewe Estate and a sum of money which left her the richest lady in the district.

In 1862, she was again led to the matrimonial altar by Jacob Cook, Esq., J.P., the founder of Cooksville from whom the village derives its name, and who died in 1873 leaving the subject of our memoir a widow for the second time.

Throughout her residence here, which has extended over 40 years, she was conspicuous for her benevolent actions having donated readily to every religious denomination that applied to her. Many an honest needy family have been generously relieved of their immediate wants when a little loan, graciously given with the knowledge not to be pressed for when due, served to appease the appetite of an otherwise voracious creditor. Many will therefore miss in her “a friend in need, a friend indeed.”

She was borne from her residence on Sunday the 29th of September to the family burial ground. She now lies beside all that remains of Dr. Wm. Pool Crewe, to whom she was married in the parrish church at Cheadle in the County of Cheshire, England, by the Rev. Mathew Bunn on the 3rd day of' April, 1823.

HISTORY OF PEEL–CENTENARY CELEBRATION

The Mail Service Development

1826 to 1967

LETTERS WERE PRECIOUS to the new settlers in Peel. In the early days they came by boat to Quebec or Montreal, travelled by bateau on the St. Lawrence, by government schooner across Lake Ontario, then by courier or private messenger on foot. In 1816 there were only nine Post Offices in Upper Canada. Mail for settlers in the Old Survey of Peel County was left at York.

At first it was customary to name the Post Office for the township. In 1826 it is fairly definite that "Toronto" post office was opened for one year on the corner of what we know as Derry West, but in 1829 it was established on land owned by Alan Robinet, lot 17, on Dundas Street. Streetsville came next in 1829. The mail was brought once a week from Toronto P.O. by Mr. Lightheart on foot. The postage ranged from four pence half-penny to three and nine pence. In a list of Townships, and settlements in Upper Canada, dated 1835, the following information is given as to the mailing address of residents of the following townships; people residing in Caledon Township should have their mail addressed to Stanley's Mills; those in Mono Township to Albion; those in Toronto Gore to Stanley's Mills; those in Toronto Township to Toronto.

Tribute should be paid to the pioneer mail-carriers especially Mr. George Taylor who carried the mail through Albion for 45 years, from 1832-1877, first on his back, then by gig and sled. It was personalities like George Taylor that kept the settlers in touch with the outside world and each other.

The main arteries of travel after Dundas Street were Hurontario Street (No. 10 Highway) and the Sixth Line East to Mono Mills. In 1820 Jacob Cook carried Her Majesty's mail once a week from York to Ancaster on horseback. From this humble beginning his route grew until he had contracts from as far away as Kingston in the east to Goderich in the west. Then he established stage coaches to augment the mail delivery. When York became a city and took the name of Toronto from Peel, the Dundas corner at Hurontario Street became Cooksville in 1836.

COOKSVILLE

Cooksville was named after Jacob Cook who came to Toronto Township in 1815, purchased Lot 16 Concession I S.D.S. (South of Dundas Street) in 1819 for $30, married and settled there.

In 1820 he contracted with the Government to carry His Majesty's mails and finally served most of Ontario. This made Cooksville an important centre in that respect. The first post office was opened prior to October 6th, 1839 at the corner of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street and was named Toronto Township. Later it was called Cooksville to honour its illustrious citizen.

As settlement increased it became an important shopping and service centre for a large area. It was an important stagecoach stop between Toronto and Hamilton.

In 1852 a disastrous fire swept through the village causing great financial loss and leaving only a few homes.

The opening of the Great Western Railway through Port Credit in 1855 hindered its revival.

Cooksville became the seat of the Toronto Township Council in 1873.

In 1877, Cooksville had a population of about 300. It contained the head office of the Canada Vine Growers' Association, which added to its prosperity. The late Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy, a citizen of Dixie, stated that the Canada Vine Growers' Association had sent grapevine cuttings to France to help the famous Louis Pasteur overcome the blight that threatened to ruin the grape industry of that country. The French were so appreciative of this assistance that when Mr. Kennedy, as Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, many years later, requested permission to bring in grapevine cuttings from France to improve the grape industry of this province, the French Government consented, contrary to their established custom.

Messrs. Parker and Gordon had a large oil refinery about a mile east of the village and did an extensive business in the production of oil for heating and lighting.

James Payne had a steam mill. There was only one church – the Canada Methodist, and one large, two-storey , brick school employing two teachers. There were three main stores, a bakeshop, two blacksmith's shops, a carriage factory and two hotels.

In 1878, the Credit Valley Railway was built, which made Cooksville an important shipping point for a wide selection of farm products.

The Cooksville Brick Company began operations in 1911 and recently has greatly extended its business by becoming a subsidiary of Domtar Construction Materials Ltd.

By 1966, Cooksville had been sub-divided over a wide area. As well as varied types of residences, it now has many high-rise apartment buildings. It also has a number of industries located adjacent to the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Confederation Square is the central, focal point of Cooksville, where, in a beautifully landscaped area, the Municipal Buildings, Police Court, Township Library and Toronto Township Board of Education offices are sited.

WELCOME TO COOKSVILLE

To many people today, the name Cooksville simply refers to the busy intersection of Dundas and Hurontario Street. Perhaps people can be excused if they do not notice the small collection of old buildings that dot the Cooksville landscape as the speed along the busy roadways. Certainly there is little to reflect Cooksville’s historical character and the busy rural life that once centered on this crossroads. Almost hidden amidst the small plazas and modern apartment buildings, bits of Cooksville’s pioneer character still show, giving a glimpse into Cooksville’s past: a past that saw Cooksville first established around 1809, become the centre of an early entrepreneurial empire, home to Canada’s first commercial winery, suffer a devastating fire, and rise from the ashes to become the centre of politics in Toronto Township. In essence, the story of Cooksville is of constant change. It is almost a surprise that, given its location and history of change, so much of Cooksville does survive.

The Early Settlers in Cooksville

The first settler in the immediate Cooksville area was Daniel Harris who arrived in Upper Canada from the United States in 1800. The community that began to grow around the intersection of Dundas and Hurontario streets came to be called Harrisville, in honour of Daniel Harris. Harris’ immediate neighbours were Philip Cody, Joseph and Jane Silverthorn (of the Cherry Hill House) and Absalom Wilcox and the Walterhouse Family.

Harrisville Becomes Cooksville

Cooksville was renamed for its most prominent pioneer citizen, Jacob Cook.

By 1819, Jacob had established his home at the southwest corner.

But Jacob was not a farmer; he had loftier ambitions.

In 1820 he received the government contract to carry mail once a week between York and Ancaster.

At first, he did this single-handedly on horseback. In 1829, he built the first hotel in the village and began a stagecoach service, together with his expanding mail contracts. At its height, the stagecoach and mail routes went to Kingston, Hamilton, Toronto, Queenstown, Niagara, Brantford, Galt, Preston, London, Goderich and throughout Peel and Halton Counties. Cooksville was the centre of his marvelous network. Harrisville was officially renamed Cooksville in 1836, in recognition of Jacob Cook's success and how his enterprising businesses had helped to establish Cooksville as a prominent crossroads community.

Jacob Cook’s legacy is of a captain of industry: Jacob Cook developed and ran a system of mail routes for 28 years.

A Burgeoning Village Community

Cooksville gained popularity as a “jumping-off-place” for weary travellers going between Niagara and York because of its central location and the confluence of two early and important roads. The village soon became a thriving place that consisted of several stores, multiple hotels, blacksmith shops and a sawmill. Largely because of its location, Cooksville developed into an important hub of activity in the early township. Cooksville continued to grow until 1852 when a fire razed many of the homes and businesses. The community began to rebound in the late 1800s and early 1900s with expanded ventures into winemaking, oil refining and brick making. In 1873 Cooksville was chosen over Streetsville and Derry West as the new site for the Toronto Township Hall.

The Cooksville Fire of 1852

Like many small villages, a fire changed the fortunes of Cooksville. The fire broke out around 2pm, on Saturday, May 26, 1852 in John Belcher’s Blacksmith Shop and Forge, located on the north side of Dundas Street, a little to the west of Hurontario (on Lot 16). Within little more than two hours, it had consumed almost every structure in the immediate vicinity, including houses, fences, and the wooden sidewalks and pavements.

In all, 35 houses and businesses were lost, most of them with no insurance. The sawmill was saved although the dam was lost. Oddly, according to some reports, one of the buildings to survive was the Walterhouse, located nearby the blacksmith shop. The Walterhouse would later become the Revere House. Among the properties destroyed were four stores, two hotels, the post office, and postmaster’s house, six private homes and barns. The fire swept through much of old Cooksville, also claiming Jacob Cook’s hotel, stables and store. These buildings were soon replaced. William “Ginger” Harris who ran a stagecoach line based out of Harris’ Corners, north of Streetsville, where he operated “The Grand” hotel, built a new inn on the Northeast corner in Cooksville and renamed it the Royal Exchange Hotel. Although Jacob did not sell his property to William “Ginger” Harris, Ginger oversaw the management of the hotel. Jacob also had his store rebuilt in short order.

The Future of Cooksville

By 1877 the village had recovered from the fire and could boast a large-scale carriage and blacksmith trade. About a mile west of the village, near the old brickyard site, Misters Parker and Gordon built a large oil refinery and manufactured gas oil used for making gas. By the turn of the century, James Payne operated a large steam-powered sawmill while T.G. Golding and John Galbraith ran the two principal stores. Charles Caldwell (Colwell) built a carriage factory and William Cox ran a bakery, while Lewis Walterhouse, Ed Whaley and Robert Wilson operated blacksmith shops.

Since then, Cooksville has long been regarded as a centre for civic, industrial and commercial interests within Mississauga. Mississauga’s first municipal offices were here, as was the central branch of the Mississauga Library System, and the original offices for both school boards. As a result of Cooksville’s continuing evolution as the centre of the city of Mississauga’s political life, very little of pre-1940 Cooksville remains.

Cooksville is a neighbourhood in the city of Mississauga, Regional Municipality of Peel, in the Greater Toronto Area region of Ontario, Canada. It is located at the intersection of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street near the eponymous Cooksville Creek

History

Cooksville was an important stagecoach stop along the Dundas highway, which was carved out of the wilderness after a survey by Asa Danforth Jr. in 1798. The first settler was Daniel Harris, an immigrant from the United States, in 1800, so the settlement was first named Harrisville.

Jacob Cook bought 100 acres (40 ha) at the southwest corner of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street for $30 in 1819 and the settlement was renamed in his honour.

The entrepreneur won the contract to deliver the mail from York to Niagara, operated several stagecoach lines, was the local magistrate and built the Cooksville House, the first licensed tavern in the area at the northwest corner of Dundas and Hurontario streets in 1829. A heritage Mississauga sign on Hurontario Street north of the intersection claims it was the first Canadian location of winemaking in 1836.

Cooksville grew in size and influence until the Great Fire of 1852 razed much of it.[2] A severe tornado hit the area on June 24, 1923 destroying mostly rural farmhouses around the town. On the west side of the town there was a 182 acre brickyard that sprawled south of the CP rail line from 1912 until its closure in 1995, employing many Cooksville residents over that period. The Italian Heavyweight champion boxer, Primo Carnera had worked at the yard for a short period during his youth. Today, the converted site is a medium density residential and retail zone along Shoreline Dr., just south of the infamous 1979 Mississauga train derailment site at the CP crossing (Mavis Road).

Cooksville was the residence of HIH Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia while in exile in Canada. As well, Harland Sanders lived here when he was supervising the introduction of Kentucky Fried Chicken franchises in Canada.

Much of the new suburban growth in Mississauga before amalgamation in the 1960s occurred in areas around Cooksville. For much of that time it had the highest concentration of high-rise condominium and rental buildings in Mississauga. In recent years it has been overtaken in density by the City Centre just to north of Cooksville and the area immediately surrounding the Square One Shopping Centre.

Transportation

Cooksville GO Station

Cooksville is also the main transportation hub in Mississauga, with GO Transit rail and bus service and express city buses to Toronto Union Station. Cooksville GO Station is near the original corners of the settlement, and the MiWay and GO Bus Terminal is adjacent to the north parking lot of the Square One Shopping Centre to the north.

Demographics

The population of the area is highly diverse with people from originating from all over the world, over half are visible minorities. There is a plethora of South Asian and Arab textile/clothing shops, restaurants and grocery stores in the area. There is also a significant number of Afro-Caribbean take-out restaurants and barber shops; the area is known to cater towards Mississauga's black community because of the large number of barber shops in close proximity to one another. Nevertheless, the area is multicultural and most cultures are represented in the area.

The area around the Hurontario Street and Dundas Street intersection was originally known as Harrisville, named for Daniel Harris, who in 1809 purchased land and built a sawmill there. When Harris returned to the United States, Jacob Cook bought land and settled there in 1819 and the village was renamed Cooksville. In the 1870s Cooksville was chosen as the site of the Toronto Township Hall and remained the centre of the township until the development of the City Centre to the north.

COOKSVILLE

Cooksville was once known as "Harrisville" after Daniel Harris, who was one the earliest settlers to the intersection of Hurontario and Dundas Streets. The village was renamed in 1836 in honour of its leading entrepreneur,...Jacob Cook

Cook was a mail carrier for Toronto Township. By 1820, Cook was running stagecoaches as far as Kingston and Goderich for both mail and passengers. When the Great Western Railway began to build in Toronto Township, the people of Cooksville no longer needed to ride the stagecoaches to get to Toronto and Cooksville's economy suffered.

In 1852, a fire destroyed most of the settlement's shops and houses but some were rebuilt. For over a century Cooksville was the centre for civic, industrial, commercial and educational interests. Mississauga's first municipal offices were located on Dundas St., just west of Hurontario Street, as was the Central Library, the offices for the public and separate school boards, and various Federal and Provincial ministries.

THE HISTORY OF MISSISSAUGA's COOK STREET

June 12, 2019.........Modern Mississauga

Cook Street, near the intersection of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street, takes its name from the namesake of the historic village of Cooksville, Jacob Cook (1776-1873).

https://www.modernmississauga.com/main/2019/6/12/the-history-of-mississaugas-cook-street

Jacob Cook was born on April 26, 1776 in Pennsylvania, with his family later settling near Ancaster, Ontario. A story recounts that Jacob met another early settler in 1814 or 1815 near Palermo, and that person convinced Jacob to purchase his lot for 30 pounds. Reportedly, Jacob was given a long period of time for which to pay for the land. The deed for the property was registered in 1819. This property was at the southwest corner of what is now Hurontario Street and Dundas Street West.

Jacob was not a farmer – he had loftier ambitions.

In 1820, Jacob received a government contract to carry mail between York and Ancaster. Over time, Jacob expanded his mail contracts, and added a tavern (first named the Atlantic Hotel, and later known as the Cooksville House) and stagecoach service to his enterprise. The hotel became the departure point for his stagecoach and mail service. From Cooksville, stagecoach and mail routes went to Kingston, Hamilton, Toronto, Queenstown, Niagara, Brantford, Galt, Preston, London, Goderich and throughout Peel County. By 1831, he also operated a daily stage service from Cooksville to Brampton, Cheltenham and Georgetown.

In 1823 Jacob married Anna G. Ogden, of Etobicoke, whom he had met while traversing his mail route. Jacob and Anna had 12 children:

1. Jacob Jr. (1824-26)
2. Mary
3. Miles Washington
4. Anna
5. William (1829-1834)
6. Pizarius (1834-35)
7. Hannah (1835-1870)
8. Henrietta
9. Eliza Naomi (1840-41)
10. Charles (1842-1842)
11. Thomas (1841-1865) and

Eliza Mahalia (1844-1845)

The community was officially named Cooksville, after Jacob, in 1836. In 1846 at village survey was laid out on the north side of Dundas Street, and two of the street names were named in the family’s honour: Novar Road was originally named "Ogden Street" in reference to Jacob’s wife’s family, and "Cook Street", in reference to Jacob.

Jacob was an influential early settlers in the community, serving as Justice of the Peace in 1843 and as Road Commissioner in 1846 and 1847. Jacob Cook, a true captain of early industry, died on March 3, 1873, at age 77, and was buried in the Dixie Union Cemetery.
