The village of Nobleton began as a settlement about 1812. It was named in honour of Joseph Noble, who had a general store on the northeast corner of lot 5, concession 9. Many of Nobleton’s original settlers are commemorated on street signs or by plaques on designated heritage homes. One of these homes is the red brick Hambly House, an elaborate Victorian mansion with a central tower that stands proudly at the corner of Hwy 27 and King Rd. Nobleton’s first settlers hailed from England, Scotland and Ireland, Holland, Germany and the United States. These hard working men and women were industrious and took advantage of the riches of the land around them by establishing a saw mills and other complimentary businesses. Schooling was important and Nobleton had a two room schoolhouse. Nobleman was a faith based community with a number of churches most of which are still standing today including St. Alban’s Anglican Church, circa 1845. The nucleus of the present day Nobleton and much of the infrastructure began to take shape in the 1950s and 60s. Since then Nobleton has grown steadily transitioning from a strictly rural community to a commuter suburb with a vibrant downtown core that is making this neighbourhood an increasingly popular choice for families.
