Photo of Innisfil Reeve George William Burton at the laying of the last stone for the Innisfil municipal building, which he had helped design. This building was located closer to the intersection of Innisfil Beach Road and Yonge Street than the current municipal building located at 2101 Innisfil Beach Road. George Burton served as Reeve in Innisfil from 1969 until 2 December 1974. George was born on 1 October 1919 and worked as a builder, contractor, and operated a fishing hut business at Leonard's Beach. He also owned and operated a holiday resort known as Holiday Acres, and was responsible for subdividing the resort into smaller lots in the south half of lots 26 and 27 on the 9th Line of Innisfil. Located in this subdivision are Rose Lane, which is named for his wife, Kathryn Road is named for his daughter, and Holiday Way is named after the resort. Burton Drive was formerly named William Drive, for his son.
