In 1827, Guelph saw the construction of 70 houses, a farmers' market, a brewery, and a Board of Commerce; a grist mill was also built by the Canada Company, though its construction date is not stated in the source.
By the fall of 1827, 70 houses had been built in Guelph, though some were primitive. The first Guelph Farmers' Market was built in 1827, located in the downtown area. James Hodgert's brewery was founded in 1827, and the first Board of Commerce started to stimulate economic growth. The Canada Company built the first grist mill to eliminate the need for farmers to take their grain to Galt or Dundas for grinding; the source does not date its construction, recording only its sale to William Allen in 1832.
