- Pop. 230. In Reg. Mun. of Halton Hills on the W branch of the Credit R., 23 km. SW of Brampton.
- Limehouse was first known as The Rock and was later named Fountain Green, but when the post office was established in 1857 it was named Limehouse for the limestone that abounded in the area.
- In the 1850s, lime kilns were built to produce quicklime which, when mixed with water, formed mortar.
- In the 1880s, the Bescoby Lime Works employed more than 100 men on three shifts, producing 75,000 bushels (27,300 hl) of lime a year from six kilns.
