The Ontario plaque titled The Founding of Parkhill traces it to a railway station opened nearby in 1860 on the newly completed Grand Trunk line from Guelph to Sarnia. A post office named Westwood opened that year, was renamed Swainby in 1861 and Park Hill in 1863, and William Kelly laid out a village plot in 1861. Growth was slow until 1865, when a bonus raised by residents persuaded John Harrison to build a steam-powered grist mill. Parkhill became an incorporated village on January 1, 1872, and a town fourteen years later.
Since January 1, 2001, Parkhill has been part of the Municipality of North Middlesex, and the municipal office is at 229 Parkhill Main Street.
Parks Canada designated the Parkhill National Historic Site on June 12, 1982. It marks a Paleo-Indian habitation site dating to 8800 to 7800 B.C., when the land was the shoreline of ancient Glacial Lake Algonquin, and it produced an unusually complete artifact collection, including more than 125 fluted points.
Statistics Canada's Parkhill population centre had 1,707 residents in 2021, slightly down from 1,737 in 2016, in 690 occupied homes. Of those, 565 were single-detached houses and 105 were apartments in low-rise buildings, and about 77% of households owned. The stock is older than in the villages nearer London: about 300 homes were built in 1960 or earlier and only about 70 since 2001, and the median age was 44.0. That is the opposite profile to Lucan, which grew by a fifth from 2016 to 2021.

The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority's 800-hectare Parkhill Conservation Area, at 32910 Centre Road, exists because of flooding. The Parkhill Dam and reservoir were built in 1969 to control serious flooding and erosion downstream on Parkhill Creek. Today ABCA lists canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking and bird watching, a boat launch and a scenic lookout; motorized vehicles and camping are not permitted, although a separately operated campground sits within the conservation area.
After the May 25, 2019 storms, ABCA said flooding in Parkhill could have been worse, crediting the Cameron-Gillies diversion channel and the Parkhill Dam with limiting the damage.
The Thames Valley District School Board runs Parkhill-West Williams Public School at 204 McLeod Street and North Middlesex District High School at 100 Main Street.

McLeod Street is the recreation block: the arena at 256 McLeod Street has an ice pad of about 180 by 80 feet and a fitness centre, and the North Middlesex Community Centre at 224 McLeod Street lists a capacity of 300. The Middlesex County Library's Parkhill branch is at 229 B Main Street. North Middlesex lists Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital as the closest full-service hospital.
Centre Road (Middlesex County Road 81) runs south from Parkhill to Highway 402 at exit 65, signed for Parkhill and Strathroy. As the crow flies, the town is about 24 km from Strathroy, about 18 km from Grand Bend on Lake Huron and about 40 km from the Forks of the Thames in London.
