  • Electricity Was a Novelty, Electrical Applications Were Limited
    Ontario During the second half of the 1800s, when commercial electricity was a novelty, electrical applications were limited. At first this new energy form greatly enhanced communications through the telegraph and telephone. Then the magical medium was extended to give improved lighting on streets and in the homes of urban centres. During the 100 years since, electrical applications have expanded dramatically and constantly until today we see electricity applied in every conceivable manner for the most complex and instant response communications systems, lighting, heating, cooking and housekeeping chores, industrial and commercial power, mass transportation, calculating, recording, science, surgery, entertainment and space travel. The story behind this expansion, and the establishment of the public utility to make this new form of energy available to all the people in all the areas of Ontario is a story of small beginnings, enterprise and great foresight. It started when local electric power plants were installed in some towns and cities. For example, commercial generation and distribution of electricity in Toronto began during the 1880s. Likewise, through local steam or small water power stations, electricity became available in many towns and cities until it was recognized as a necessity across the province. Ontario Power Company generating station at Niagara Falls, 1909. Photo courtesy of Ontario Hydro. Before the turn of the century transmission voltages were leaping from 1100 volts to 2500 to 5000 to 11,000 volts-each step being taken to economically provide for distribution of electrical energy from points of generation to more distant and far flung points of consumption. Alternating current had cracked the distance barrier but many claims were made by early entrepreneurs for the advantage of one frequency system over another.

  • Sir Adam Beck 1857-1925
    SIR ADAM BECK 1857-1925 Born in Baden Ontario, Beck moved his cigar-box manufacturing company to London in 1885. In 1902 he was elected mayor of London for a three year term. He represented London in the provincial legislative assembly (1902-1919 and 1923-1925). A member of the provincial cabinet (1905-1914 and 1923-1925) he presided over the enactment of the law establishing the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission in 1906. As chairman of that body from 1906-1925, he was largely responsible for its successful establishment and growth which led to a policy of low-cost electrical distribution to not only the urban areas but also to the back roads of rural Ontario. He was knighted in 1914. Sir Adam Beck 1857-1925 Adam Beck was born on the 20th of June, 1857, in the town of Baden, Ontario which was founded by his father Jacob B. Beck. At the age of 14, Adam began working in his father’s iron foundry. After the foundry folded, Adam and his brother William went to Galt and opened a lumber veneering and cigar box manufacturing firm. Adam moved the business to London, Ontario in 1884 and eventually branches opened in Montreal, Toronto and Hamilton. In 1898, Adam ventured into politics and unsuccessfully ran as the conservative candidate for the Ontario legislature. Four years later in 1902 he was elected as mayor of London and as London’s member in the provincial parliament. He was mayor for 3 years and except for 1919-1923 was London’s MLA until his death.

Mining for gypsum, or Plaster of Paris, began in Ontario in 1822 by Squire William Holme, first settler in the Paris area. Deposits of gypsum were found along the banks of the river both upstream and downstream of the town. For the first two years of mining, the gypsum was broken up by sledge hammers. In 1824, a race- way was dug to allow easy access to a grinding mill. The gypsum was sold to settlers as fertilizer and course plaster for housing.
