Why People Choose Thorndale
Thorndale was laid out by the Logan family in 1858 and formally named "Thorndale" in 1859, after the estate of their Irish neighbour James Shanly. Shanly himself had arrived in the spring of 1837 on an investigative trip northeast of London, and was captivated by a 600-acre property overlooking the Thames River valley, which he purchased for his new Canadian home. Today Thorndale is a locality within Thames Centre, a municipality formed in 2001 through the amalgamation of the former Townships of North Dorchester and West Nissouri. The village combines the atmosphere of an established rural community with newer residential development, offering a quieter setting within convenient commuting distance of London.
