Dixie

In 1865, the village of Sydenham was renamed in honour of Beaumont Wilson Bowen Dixie (1819-1898), a Welsh settler who paid for the establishment of the Union Chapel, a multi-denominational Protestant church in the village originally built in 1816 (and rebuilt in 1837). The church is also home to St. John's Dixie Union Cemetery, an active cemetery since 1816. The Chapel was built from donations from the Cody family of Buffalo Bill fame and was where his son was baptized in 1847. Today, much of the area is commercial or industrial use with a small area of residential homes east of Dixie Road.
