Williamsburg restaurants … and goodbye
In the 1840s, the hamlet of Williamsburg had a sawmill drawing water for power from Strasburg Creek, and by 1864 a one-room schoolhouse had been built on Bleams Road in what is now southwest Kitchener.
Much of the history of the small village, named for German immigrant Anthony Wilhelm, is lost, but in 2009 a red brick building, currently housing the Williamsburg Community Centre, was erected replete with a town clock in Roman numerals and cupola with a weather vane, re-presented the hamlet.
Today, Williamsburg Town Centre is home to about 50 businesses and 15 restaurants
