Maxville's Story

Maxville began a long time ago, around the year 1832. When we say "around 1832," it means the exact date it was founded isn't known, but it was sometime close to that year. This makes Maxville over 190 years old! Like many small communities, it likely started as a place where people settled and built homes, perhaps near a good farming area or a road.
