Stouffville is a town north to Markham and bounded by Davis Drive (York Regional Road 31) in the north, York-Durham Line (York Regional Road 30) in the east, and Highway 404 in the west.
It is called "country close to the city".
Many of the first settlements in Stouffville Township were developed at the intersections of main roads throughout the township and /or near streams where mills could built to process the timber.
Stouffville was one such hamlet that grew around the saw and grist mills of Abraham Stouffer, a Mennonite who with his wife Elizabeth Reesor Stouffer came from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania in 1804, and acquired 600 acres of land.
It was the beginning of village of Stouffville.
