The community of Binbrook has a rich history of agriculture and
First Nations peoples. Evidence has been found of
Algonquin tribes inhabiting this area. The first registry of Binbrook was in 1791 when it was named Township #11 in the
District of Nassau. The plan can be found in the Department of Lands and Forests,
Toronto, dated October 25, 1791, where it lists four concessions and blocks divided amongst several families. Township #11 was renamed to Binbrook after the same town in Lincolnshire, England, in 1792. Binbrook was then grouped with four other counties into the
District of Niagara in 1798. 18 years later, in 1816, the new
Gore District was divided into two new counties known as
Wentworth (which comprises Binbrook, four other townships, and part of the county of
Haldimand) and
Halton. Armstrong's General Store was a longtime centre of community activity as was the feed mill. In the 1960s, Cybulski's Grocery Store became a hub for the small community. Knox Presbyterian Church, a Baptist church, and Anglican Church all are near the centre of the village. The Binbrook Little Theatre, across from the Agricultural Hall, is home to local productions that highlight the area's creativity and culture. It puts on three productions a season. The
Hamilton Public Library opened the Binbrook branch, which was established in 1966. The current, open concept design building opened to the public in 1982, and was renovated in April 2018. The community also has a community centre, arena, soccer fields, and the Binbrook Conservation area. == Binbrook Agricultural Society ==
