Custodial history
The Maple School was established in 1861 and served the Village of Maple and area well into the twentieth-century; the school was preceded by an informal school house, which served the village from 1839 to 1861. The 1861 Maple School was designated School Section # 6 and a formal Board of Trustees was elected; the school building was located on what would later become the site of the Vaughan Township Administrative Offices. When the one-room school building became overcrowded, part of an old Presbyterian Church was moved to the site and served as a second school room. In 1896, the two buildings were demolished and a modern two-room brick school was constructed. The School was closed in 1955, with the advent of the George Bailey School. The School Board was at this time dissolved. The Line family was one of the oldest in Vaughan Township, John Line having located by 1806 on Lot 15 Concession 4.
