Statement of Significance

Greenhills well is of historical significance as a source of water supply for the early settlers and travellers.

History

The private town of Greenhills developed on McMullen’s farm after they successfully lobbied for the railway line east of York to pass through their property. The advent of the railway in 1898 shifted the focus from the original townsite where the church, cemetery, school and Agricultural hall had been established.
