3 The City of Brockville is one of the oldest and historically important communities in Ontario. It was first settled and founded by American citizens, loyal to the British government, following the closing of the British-American War of 1775-83. These new settlers were known as United Empire Loyalists.

William Buell, Daniel Jones and Charles Jones were the three village founders that were granted the land which forms the historic area of the original downtown Brockville.

A town site was first laid out about 1802 on the central portion owned by William Buell, who lived here for 47 years, from 1785 to 1832, developing his properties for later settlers.

Brockville stands on the eastern edge of the , a rocky, geological formation. The local terrain, near the shore of the St. Lawrence River, although not conducive for farming included Buell’s Bay, Buell’s Creek, three rising plateaus from the shoreline, and a small island, close to the shore, later named Blockhouse Island. These characteristics were exploited as the small village grew in the early 1800s.

In 1809, the government of decided to build a new court house and jail here, on the high plateau back of the shore, on a piece of land offered by William Buell. These facilities led to the establishment of the seat of government here for the District of Johnstown and then later the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Court House Square and Green, surrounded by public buildings and tall neo-Gothic churches, in front of the 1842-built Brockville Court House, is one of ’s most attractive urban spaces.

4 Brockville was named in 1812, to honour General , the “Hero of Upper Canada”, whose command of the British and forces of this province led to success during the second British- American War of 1812-14. His tragic death in October 1812 confirmed the wisdom of being the first adopters of his name for the small village.

Later, when Brockville’s population exceeded 1000 residents, the village became one of the first places to send an elected representative to the provincial legislature. In 1832, Brockville was successful in becoming the first incorporated and self-governing “Police Village” in Upper Canada.

Located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, Brockville became a popular port-of-call for the steamships that travelled up and down the river. These ships carried immigrants to Canada and raw materials and manufactured products to their markets. The waterfront of Brockville was soon dotted with new industries like foundries, tanneries, breweries, as well as numerous warehouses.

In the 1850s, the town of Brockville was made the centre of railway transportation, as both the and the Brockville & Railway opened their rail lines here. These decisions led to further growth and development of this community. Brockville is the site of Canada’s first railway tunnel, opened in 1860. It provided a route for trains from the to the Brockville waterfront for over 110 years. The Brockville Railway Tunnel passes completely under the centre of the city for a third of a mile and is open to the public.

The downtown streets of Brockville are an “outdoor museum” of beautiful buildings throughout the Historic Area. The variety of early stone houses, brick commercial blocks and Victorian homes has been preserved over our 200 years of growth. This cultural heritage is something that needs to be discovered on foot. Doug Grant Local Historian 5 Brockville is rich in history being settled in 1785. City Hall is a fine example of the architecture that exists today in the downtown area. The building, which was constructed in 1864, was once a farmers’ market. Today it houses the municipal government and the market is now found next door on Market Street West. The public is welcome to visit “Victoria Hall” anytime during the week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Any questions pertaining to the city or services can be brought to the front desk.

PURCHASE GAS VARIANCE ACCOUNT We set our gas supply prices for customers every three months based on the market forecast for the cost of natural gas for the next 12 month period. However natural gas prices change continually throughout the year. Due to the fluctuation of gas prices in the market there is an ongoing difference between the forecast cost charged to customers each month by Enbridge and the actual cost that we pay for the gas. The difference between our forecast costs and actual costs is tracked in an account called the Purchase Gas Variance Account (PGVA).
