Settlement began in 1825 with the arrival of Irish immigrants who were given land as part of a government funded program to establish communities of settlement in the back woods of Upper Canada.

Through three hundred pages of history, the growth of homesteads, schools, and, communities is presented in detail. The history of the Irish families who came to settle in the township, the role of the church in their lives and the progress of a sprawling farming community are all covered in this book.
