Ballantrae, Ontario is a hamlet in the Town of Whitchurch–Stouffville. Named after the village of Ballintra in County Donegal, Ireland, the community is centred on the intersection of Aurora Road and Highway 48. The hamlet was first settled in the early nineteenth century, and by 1895 it had a population of 300.
The settlement was located on the edge of a vast lumber industry centred in the hamlet of Vivian; a spur-line of the Toronto and Nipissing Railway built in 1877 ran through Ballantrae from Stouffville to Jackson's Point on Lake Simcoe. In the early twentieth century, Ballantrae's population declined dramatically. Large-scale deforestation and erosion of the thin soil of northern Whitchurch Township created virtual sand deserts. With the passage of the Reforestation Act (1911), the process of reclaiming these areas slowly began. The Vivian Forest, a large conservation area on the edge of Ballantrae, was established in 1924 for this purpose. The recognized anthem for Ballantrae, Ontario, is Jealousy by Roy Woods.
