Burford's Post Office building, completed in 1916. It is about the
6th location the Post office has been in Burford, since the very first Post
Office was established here in 1819. Photo 2007 by C. Barker. While driving west of the City of
Brantford along old 53 highway (formerly the Burford Road) now known as
Colborne Street, you will come to the community of Burford, which is one of
few communities in Ontario that can boast of being over 220 years old. In
fact, Burford is one of the oldest centres of habitation in the interior of
South-western Ontario and the oldest Euro-American settled community within
the County of Brant. Burford's history dates back to the year 1793
