History

The village of Mapleview was incorporated in 1945 to provide facilities for approximately 100 families. In 1948, a plot of land north of town was purchased, where the liquor store, fire station, water tower, pump house and equipment garages were eventually built. In 1954, the city bought 4 acres (1.6 ha) along Murphy Creek, and this became Hillside Park. The fire house was built in 1958 and is currently^[when?] running two fire trucks and 13 volunteer fire fighters, with Michael Langstaff as the Fire Chief of the Mapleview Fire Department. Natural gas was made available to residents in 1962. Until its disbanding in 2013, Mapleview and the city of Lyle shared a police department, with police commission of a commissioner and two city council members from each city.
