Myrtle Station, Ontario

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Myrtle Station, Ontario is a community in the Town of Whitby, Durham Region, Ontario, Canada.

Myrtle Station is located approximately one kilometre north of the community of Myrtle. In 1884, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built a rail line between Toronto and Montreal through the area. A railway station was constructed and the community that grew in the vicinity was known as Myrtle Station. The community was originally part of Whitby Township and became part of the Town of Whitby when the two municipalities amalgamated in 1968.

The CPR line remains, but now ends in Havelock.
