HISTORIC COBOURG LIFE IN THE PAST LANE... Settlers started arriving in Cobourg in the 1790s which, at the time, was known for its 40 houses, 2 inns, 4 stores, several distilleries, a grist mill and a whopping population of 350! From the Sifton-Cook Heritage Centre to the historic and iconic Victoria Hall (circa 1850), Cobourg has seen quite a few changes. It was once known as a “turn of the century” American summer resort which brought Cobourg a certain social cachet and style. When visiting, or exploring your own Town, you’ll also want to stop in to see the Victoria Hall Courtroom which was the location for the sensational trial that has been called “The Last Battle of the Great War.” There is plenty of history right here in the beautiful Town of Cobourg! We encourage you to explore all there is to learn. HISTORIC WALKING TOURS! Did you know that we have unique and interesting heritage walking tours throughout our Heritage Conservation Districts? The Poppy Trail With this virtual tour and booklet, we invite you to come and explore Cobourg’s history. Using the booklet as your guide, you may walk the tour on your own, or watch the video and enjoy learning about Cobourg’s wartime past from the comfort of your own home. This tour of Cobourg’s historic downtown will allow you to savour charming period architecture and streetscapes while learning about Cobourg’s significant war time contributions. Commercial Core Heritage Conservation District The Commercial Core District is defined by mid-to-late 19th century commercial development. Settlement began to occur more rapidly following the war of 1812. In the 19th Century the Commercial Core was much more residential in nature, as many shop owners lived above their businesses. Please remember the homes you view are private property and should be viewed from the street. Enjoy your tour through a sampling of Cobourg’s heritage. 45 East Heritage Conservation District The East Heritage Conservation District is one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods in the Town of Cobourg. The East District is an example of incremental residential growth in Cobourg, as with the other residential districts. The construction of Cobourg’s first Anglican church (St. Peter’s) in 1818 attracted wealthy settlers who wanted to live closer to their place of worship. Please remember the homes you view are private property and should be viewed from the street. Enjoy your tour through a sampling of Cobourg’s heritage. George Street Heritage Conservation District The George Street Heritage Conservation District was originally settled by Nathaniel Herriman in 1799. The differing architectural styles is due to the incremental growth of the district. Some of the styles include Classical Revival, Gothic Revival and Ontario Cottage Vernacular. In the 1850s George Street was meant to be the main thoroughfare to and from the railway station, but with competing interests the location of the station changed and Division Street became the main thoroughfare. Please remember the homes you view are private property and should be viewed from the street. Enjoy your tour through a sampling of Cobourg’s heritage. West Heritage Conservation District Land in the West District were subdivided by 1850s, but most construction did not take place until the 1870s with the uptick in the Town’s economic activity with new industry locating within the Town. The dominant form of the West District is vernacular design, which were constructed for workers. This tour includes stops outside of the West District. Please remember the homes you view are private property and should be viewed from the street. Enjoy your tour through a sampling of Cobourg’s heritage. SCAN FOR THE TOURS!

COBOURG G R E E N H O U S E 501 THOMPSON ST, COBOURG, ON. A Legacy in Bloom: The History of the Cobourg Greenhouse Poinsettia Delivery: Spreading Holiday Cheer Established in the 1980s, the Cobourg Greenhouse began as a modest operation on Charles Street, focusing on providing plants for municipal spaces. Over the decades, it has transformed into a vital hub for the community, supplying a diverse array of flowers, shrubs, and greenery for the town’s parks, public gardens, and seasonal displays. Now located on Thompson Street, the greenhouse features an impressive 7,000 square feet of growing space capable of nurturing up to 80,000 annual plants. This abundant capacity allows for the creation of approximately 300 hanging baskets, 70 miscellaneous containers, and 90 individual flower beds, contributing to the town’s vibrant floral displays. Beyond its role in beautifying the community, the greenhouse is instrumental in various local projects, including holiday plant deliveries to retirement homes and its renowned summer hanging baskets. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of its horticulturists, the Cobourg Greenhouse continues to thrive, skillfully blending tradition with modern practices while enhancing Cobourg's charm throughout the year. Behind the Blooms: A Year with Our Horticulture Team As the seasons change, so too does the rhythm of our dedicated horticulture team, who work year-round to bring beauty and life to our community through the plants and flowers they nurture in the greenhouse. Each season holds its own special projects and traditions, and no two months are ever the same. 47 As winter settles in, the greenhouse transforms into a vibrant display of red, pink, and white poinsettias, grown to perfection. These festive plants are more than just a holiday decoration—they represent a gesture of warmth and goodwill. In December, our team loads up their trucks and delivers hundreds of poinsettias to local retirement homes and community partners, spreading holiday cheer and brightening the spaces of those who need it most. This annual tradition is a labor of love, bringing joy and seasonal beauty to the heart of our community. Meet the Green Team: The Visionaries Behind Our Blossoming Community At the heart of our thriving horticulture program is Rick Cromlish, a passionate green thumb with years of experience bringing natural beauty to life. Under his guidance, the team works seamlessly throughout the year, turning seasonal planning into stunning results—from the festive poinsettias that spread holiday joy to the lush hanging baskets that adorn our streets in summer. Together, Rick and the horticulture team blend creativity with hard work, always looking ahead to the next project that will make our community bloom even brighter.
