The first post office was established in 1873 and was called Pine Lake. Local legend has it that the towns name was changed to Gooderham when a smooth-talking liquor salesman from the Gooderham & Woorts Distillery Co in Toronto breezed into town with a ―sample keg of his finest spirits to persuade the 3 local hotel keepers to feature his products. The sampling made such a lasting impression on the locals that Pine Lake was promptly changed to Gooderham. Now that's salesmanship!
The Gooderham Pioneer Cemetery was used from1853 to 1905 by the early settlers of the community.
