History Before European settlers, Orangeville was thought to be a native hunting ground. No permanent settlements have been identified in the area, but minor burial sites have been discovered.
The first patent of land was issued to Ezekiel Robinson, a land surveyor, on August 7, 1820. The next was issued to Alan Robinet in 1822. Orangeville was founded in 1863, named after Orange Lawrence, a businessman who owned several mills around the village. In 1873, an Act of Incorporation was passed and Orangeville was given town status on January 1, 1874.
The public library, located at Broadway and Mill St, was completed in 1908. Andrew Carnegie, the well-known businesman and philanthropist, provided finacial help for its construction. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...
Industry Manufacturing is the town's biggest industry. The industrial sector of Orangeville is primarily located on, and in the viscinity of Centennial Road(located south-west of Broadway).
Transportation The main intersection in the heart of the town is Broadway (formerly Provincial Highway 9) and First Street. Provinical Highway 10 runs through Orangeville on its east side.
The town has its own public bus system, in addition to be serviced by Go buses.
Infrastructure Construction of the South Arterial Road, often referred to as the 'Orangeville by-pass', has reached its completion. The road runs from East to West, connecting provincial highways ten and county road 109 (formerly provincial highway nine). Much of the Eastern stretch runs through the Town of Caledon, but officially enters into Orangeville at the Townline Road controlled intersection. When the project was first announced on May 11, 2005 it was touted as the panacea to the commercial truck traffic that conjested both Broadway and Townline Road. Caledon (2001 population 50,595) is a town in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. ...

Concerns have been raised over the town's sewage treatment facilities, which are located on Townline Road. Many argue that, given the town's growing population, the current facilities must be upgraded or replaced. Despite these demands and the growth of its residential population, the town does not have that tax base to responsibility finance the project. The town has attempted to defer such construction by implimenting a water conservation program that makes use of water usage metering. Further, while the town has achieved a population that legally qualifies it as a city, Orangeville remains incorporated as the Town of Orangeville. If the town is to reincorporate as the City of Orangeville, it would be obliged to build a treatment facility to match. The town's overwhelmingly Conservative and neo-liberal citizenry has impeded development by resisting tax increases. In February 2006, town council struck its proposed budget, one which called for tax increases, opting instead for zero-based budgeting. Given this motion, budget shortfalls are expected to continue until significant tax increases are introduced.

CHOV 101.3 FM was a community radio station that served the town of Orangeville. It was established to fill an "audio-void" left when CIDC moved it's studios out of town. The station began operations on August 8th, 1996 at 1pm, on, 88.7 FM with the studio location at 168 Broadway. The station started strong, but in 1999, it cut costs by moving up the road into a smaller building housed at 178 Broadway. Financial problems continued to plague the radio station and in 2000, it moved to 10 - Fifth Avenue, in a mobile trailer, well away from traffic, and people! In addition to the move, the station changed it's frequency to 101.3 FM. It was often called the station no-one could find, due to lack of visibility, advertising, and a poor signal. The programming on the station was good, but lack of advertising, and on-air talent eventually led to it's demise in 2004. Some of the more popular shows were Oldies 101, hosted by Martin Walker, The Sounds of Soul (SOS) hosted by Peter Noce, and Mic Manuel, Gone Country with Jim Milton, and The Barry Mac Show, hosted by Barry MaCochener. It is hoped that radio will return to Orangeville someday, but it is highly unlikely as competiting stations in Newmarket, Barrie, and Guelph would likely vito a new radio station coming to Orangeville.
