History

Davisville Village is named after John Davis, who immigrated to Canada from Staffordshire, England in 1840. John Davis served as Davisville's first postmaster and helped found the Davisville Public School. He also operated the Davis Pottery Company, which became the Village's largest employer. The Davis Pottery Company was originally located on Davisville Avenue which was the main source of activity through the nineteenth century. Wood and paper mills also existed in the area. Neither currently exists.

Homes

The majority of Davisville houses were built in the 1920's and 1930's. The houses west of Mount Pleasant Road are mostly large two and three-storey English Cottage and Edwardian-style homes. There are also a number of duplexes and walk-up apartment buildings in this area.
