An Alphabetical Directory of Business and Professionals in Agincourt and Vicinity including (ultimately) information about location, length of operation, predecessors–successors, and the principal names associated with each.

In its 150+ years, Agincourt has benefitted from hundreds of businesses and professionals. Many of those listed here have been long-lived and their owners have been connected with one another and with events significant in community history — or at least my telling of it. Time (and retirement) will allow me to put a little meat on these bones, so be patient. Eventually, we hope to give each of these a visual presence in the community.
