Two sideroads south of Richmond Hill, where Highway 7 today intersects Yonge Street, stood Langstaff, or Langstaff Corners. This community took its name from John Langstaff, who arrived from New Jersey in 1808, married Abner Miles' daughter Lucy, and eventually took over his father-in-law's property on the northeast corner of the intersection. Initially, Langstaff taught in the first area school south of the sideroad. Then, after service in the War of 1812, he developed a number of small businesses at this crossroads location - woodworking shops, a pail factory, a general store, and a blacksmith shop.

As the site of Toll Gate No. 3 on the Yonge Street highway, Langstaff Corners by mid-century had become a major stopping place for travellers on the road between Richmond Hill and Toronto. The tollhouse and gate stood on the southwest corner, and there too was Langstaff's first post office, opened in 1870. On that same corner, for some years, the Langstaff family enjoyed riding around an oval half-mile racetrack.

On the northwest corner stood the Yorkshire House, under the management of William and Jane Cook. And on the southeast corner, where Balsar and Katharine Munshaw had moved after their 1794 pioneering start north of Elgin Mills, the Munshaw family farmed through much of the nineteenth century.

If the Munshaws linked Langstaff Corners with eighteenth-century Richmond Hill, then the Langstaff family itself linked this crossroads community with twentieth-century Richmond Hill.James Miles Langstaff (1825-1889), the fourth son of John and Lucy, was one of the earliest Ontario-born and predominantly Ontario-trained doctors. James studied medicine in Toronto in the mid-1840s, did post-graduate work in England, practised briefly in Unionville, then opened for business in Richmond Hill in 1849. Dr. James Langstaff, and his wife, Mary Ann Miller Langstaff, founded a mini-dynasty of Richmond Hill medical practitioners. Their son, Dr. Rolph Langstaff, and his wife, Dr. Lillian Langstaff, carried the practice into the twentieth century, and eventually handed it on to their son, Dr. James Rolph Langstaff.

Meanwhile, at Langstaff Corners itself, the original Langstaff property remained in family hands until 1893, when it was purchased by the Boyle family. Just prior to the First World War, this land on the northeast corner of what are today Yonge Street and Highway 7 was purchased by the City of Toronto and became part of the city's Industrial Farm, more commonly known as the Langstaff Jail Farm or simply the Jail Farm. Today, with the widening of both Yonge Street and Highway 7, most traces of this corner's colourful past have been wiped off the map. The old toll-gate and the Langstaff and Munshaw properties exist only in memory.

Hallowe'en Pranks at Langstaff Corners: Langstaff's Wheels

At the Langstaff corner, Mr. John Langstaff had a pail factory. Part of his equipment was a pair of wheels more than six feet [about two metres] tall, and an axel and chain, used to haul large logs into the factory by means of a team of oxen. The pranksters seized the wheels and hoisted them to the roof of Cook's Hotel. How they ever managed to do this is hard to imagine, for the wheels were very heavy and awkward to handle.

Ghost

Another practical joke played at Langstaff was to frighten people with a make-believe ghost. The "spirit" was a sheet stuffed with straw and strung with wire so that it might be lowered in front of an unsuspecting villager. This went on until one man was so frightened he went into hysterics. That put an end to the ghost at Langstaff.
