Purpleville, Ontario

Purpleville is a hamlet located south of the intersection of Pine Valley Drive and Teston Road, in the city of Vaughan, in Ontario, Canada.

Almost unrecognizable because of its small size, the only remnants of Purpleville are a small historical plaque, and a cemetery containing the very few settlers that lived there.

As with other hamlets in Ontario, its growing surroundings has led to its incorporation into the larger city of Vaughan.
