The Naming of Russell County, Township and Village by Harry The Naming of Russell County, Township and Village By Harry Baker Prepared for the Russell and District Historical Society Summary The County of Russell is presumed to have been named between 1798 and 1800 after Peter Russell, who because of the absence of the Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe was appointed as Administrator of Upper Canada which gave him authority to grant land across the province. The Township of Russell was named Elmsley Township in 1797, but due to a clerical error by the Surveyor General of Canada was inadvertently named Russell Township (possibly a mix-up between the name of the county and township). The Village of Russell was first called Duncansville/Duncanville, after the first postmaster, William Duncan. In 1898 it was formally changed by the County Council to the Police Village of Russell. It is presumed that the name was changed from Duncanville because locally it was known as Russell because the local Post Office’s name was Russell and the Russell County land registry office was in Duncanville. Peter Russell in the Colonial Government of Upper Canada 1792: Peter Russell receives the appointment of Receiver and Auditor General from Lt. Gov. John Graves Simcoe and a seat on the Executive and Legislative councils of Upper Canada (present-day Ontario). 1796: Lt. Gov. Simcoe becomes ill and returns to England. Peter Russell becomes the Administrator of Upper Canada which gives him authority to grant land across the province. 1799: When Peter Hunter appointed Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Peter Russell resigns. Peter Russell remains in York and dies in 1808. Russell County 1774: After the Seven Years War (1756-63) between Britain and France ended, the Quebec Act (1774) of the British Parliament established a permanent colonial administration in Canada. What was to become Upper Canada, south of the Hudson Bay watershed was included in the Province of Quebec. 1788: The government of the Province of Quebec and its successors (Upper Canada, Province of Canada and Ontario) began creating Districts and Counties. The Districts formed the basis for local administration and courts. The map below shows the eastern district, in what was to become Upper Canada, was called Lunenburg and shows some surveyed townships located at “The Front” along the St. Lawrence River. 1791: The American Revolution and the arrival of the United Empire Loyalists led to the Constitutional Act (1791), which seperated the Province of Quebec into Upper Canada and Lower Canada. The British Major General, John Graves Simcoe, was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. 1792: The first 19 counties were created for elections, developing militia and were the basis for surveying and creation of townships for land registration. At that time, our area of Upper Canada was part of Stormont County. (Archives of Ontario, Changing Shape of Ontario: early Districts and Counties) 1798: Russell County (named after Peter Russell) was created from the northern part of Stormont County (Weaver E.P., 1913). Note: In one reference Russell County was created in 1800. (Archives of Ontario Changing Shape of Ontario: early Districts and Counties) 1798: Russell County is shown on the map of Upper Canada in the Eastern District. 1816: Russell County and Prescott County were transferred from the Eastern District to the Ottawa District. L’Orignal was designated as the Ottawa District headquarters and contained the District Registry Office. 1820: Russell County was united with Prescott County for the purposes of Parliamentary representation in the government of the day. These two counties remain united to this present day. 1825: The Ottawa District Courthouse was built in L'Orignal. The Upper Canada map of 1826 shows Russell County as part of Ottawa District. 1840: Following aborted rebellions in both Upper and Lower Canada (1837-1838) the Act of Union (1840) merged the two colonies to form the Province of Canada. Upper and Lower Canada became known as Canada West and Canada East, respectively. 1841: The Province of Canada established District Councils for municipal administrative purposes. 1849: When the Districts in Upper Canada were abolished, County governments took on the responsibilities formerly borne by District governments. However, the construction of new County courthouses and land registry offices took time. As a result, the transfer of judicial and administrative duties took several years and varied for each County. 1852: Prior to 1852 all land registrations for Russell County were filed and registered in the Ottawa District Registry Office in L’Orignal. In 1852, James Keays was appointed Registrar for the County of Russell by the Parliament of the Province of Canada. He was instructed to open a Land Registry Office in the Village of Duncansville and on March 29, 1852 he received his first registration for the County of Russell. 1867: Confederation - the British North American Act (1867) merged the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to form the Dominion of Canada. The provinces of Ontario and Quebec replaced the former Province of Canada. Township of Russell 1797: In the 1800 map of Upper Canada signed by David William Smyth, Surveyor General for Lt. Governor Simcoe, we see Russell Township as we know it today shown as Elmsley Township, In the “Pioneer History of the County of Lanark” (J.S. McGill, 1968), we find that a Samuel Stafford worked on a survey of Russell Township in Lanark and that the name of that Township was officially changed to Emsley Township in 1797. At that time, our Township was officially named Russell Township, it is not evident if it was named after Peter Russell or in the mix up was named after the County of Russell. (From Swamp and Shanty, Wendell M. Stanley, 1987) 1821: Upper Canada was surveyed in the British system; the townships were 10 miles x 10 miles square. Each township was laid out in concessions (from west to east) and lots (from south to north). A 66-foot (the length of a surveyor’s chain) road allowance running approximately north-south was located between the concessions and a similar road allowance running east-west was located between every 5 lots. By 1821 surveying was being undertaken in Russell Township to mark out the plots for the new settlers. The lots were laid out in 200 acres. 1822: Most of the land along the banks of the Castor and Nation Rivers were occupied by lumbermen (Russell Townships first industry). Oak and white pine were harvested and sent down river for ship building. 1825: The earliest map of Russell Township showing the concessions, and lots was made in 1825 and showed the first owners. This map had no roads indicated. The black smudges on lots were Clergy Reserves. As land petitions were granted the owners names were written on the lots. Not all lot owners ever settled here. 1825: Elisha F. Loucks, his wife Elizabeth Rupert and their family, United Empire Loyalists, were reported to be the first settlers in Russell Township (The Counties of Ontario, by Emily P. Weaver, 1913). 1827: The Canada Company1 was a large landowner in Russell Township. Their land surveyor, Duncan McDonnell, reported that there was only one settler in the region, a Mr. Elisha Loucks had established a small farm and a sawmill on the “Castere River”. He described the land as consisting of large swamps with white sandy bottoms. He also indicated that there are no roads. 1827: First child born (in recorded history), Edwin Loucks born to Elisha Loucks and his wife Elizabeth Rupert. 1832: Colonel Archibald MacDonnell of Metcalfe wrote a letter that which said that the Russell area was being settled and therefore needed roads and magistrates should be appointed. 1840: Many Irish immigrate to the area in desperate situations due to the potato famine in Ireland. 1841: Settlement map of Russell Township showing the Forced Road in red (the oldest road in the Township) 1842: The population of Russell Township was recorded as 196. The first industries included lumbering, the making of maple syrup and cheese, and the fur trade. 1845-48: The founding of Embrun. The first record of French-Canadian settlers (Joseph Gignac, Charles Lamoureaux, François Ayotte, and Thophile Ayotte) 1850: The population of Russell Township was recorded as 389. 1858: Embrun Post Office was opened with Joseph Larochelle as Postmater. Village of Russell (Duncanville) 1848: William Duncan was appointed postmaster for Russell. He was the first landowner to sell village lots in Duncansville as early as 1846. In early land registrations the village was called “Duncansville”, but the “s” was dropped by 1852 (From Swamp and Shanty, Wendell M. Stanley, 1987). 1852: Prior to 1852 all land registrations for Russell County were filed and registered in the Ottawa District Registry Office in L’Orignal. In order to get to L’Orignal settlers from this area had to travel in the winter on the frozen Castor, Nation and Ottawa Rivers or, in the summer, along the Forced Road that ran north from the St. Lawrence River through Russell Township and Cumberland Township to the Village of Cumberland, on the Ottawa River. The road is traced in red on the above 1841-1842 map of Russell Township and this 1881 map of Cumberland Township (some parts of the road still exist today in Russell Township and near Vars in Cumberland Township). Once they reached the Ottawa River there was a steamboat that travelled between Bytown (now Ottawa) and L’Orignal. To service this part of Russell County, James Keays was appointed in 1852 as Registrar for the County of Russell by the Parliament of the Province of Canada. He was instructed to open a Land Registry Office in the Village of “Duncansville” and on March 29, 1852 he received the first registration for the County of Russell.

    CCHAPTERHAPTER 1:1: IINTRODUCTIONNTRODUCTION In This Chapter: Historical Setting - History & Memories Location in the County & Region - Location & Description, Municipal Boundaries Regional Influences on the Township - Accessibility, Urban Development, Transportation, Recreation and Cultural Facilities PORT HURON TOWNSHIP MASTER PLAN INTRODUCTION The information presented here is a combination of input from citizens and elected and appointed officials, as well as Township Planning Commission members and staff, along with the assistance and guidance of the St. Clair County Planning Commission. It contains statistical data and information, both past and present, that can give some insight for our future. While we cannot definitively project future development, we can try to help determine efficient and effective ways of managing and shaping the way our Township develops. In concert with that thought, this plan also includes a chapter on a Vision for the Township which includes both goals and objectives. This can help us focus on what we would like development to look like when it comes, and to give direction to developers on the expectations we have as a community. Knowing that these goals and objectives have been developed by our citizens gives them guidance as to what is desirable and marketable to our residents and therefore profitable to them. While many master plans contain an overwhelming amount of statistical information, we hope to provide a fair amount of usable information in the form of maps, charts and tables that demonstrate logical and historical reasons and trends for what has taken place in the Township and how we can benefit from that in our future.

  • AC Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment
    A. C. Buchanan and the Megantic Experiment: Promoting British Colonization in Lower Canada J. I. LITTLE* Between 1829 and 1832 a British settler colony was established on the northern fringe of Lower Canada’s Eastern Townships, in what became known as Megantic county. The main aim of the chief instigator and manager of the project, “emigrant” agent A. C. Buchanan, was to demonstrate the viability of state-assisted “pauper” colonization, as long advocated by Colonial Under- Secretary Robert Wilmot-Horton. Buchanan’s project was successful insofar as he convinced over 5,300 immigrants, the majority of whom were Irish Protestants, to follow the Craig and Gosford roads to the uninhabited northern foothills of the Appalachians. But the British government failed to apply this “experiment” elsewhere in Lower or Upper Canada, and the British settler community did not expand far beyond the townships of Leeds, Inverness, and Ireland because of their isolation from external markets. Instead, French-Canadian settlers moved into the surrounding townships, with the result that the British-origin population became a culturally isolated island of interrelated families that slowly disappeared due to out-migration. De 1829 à 1832, une colonie de peuplement britannique a vu le jour au Bas- Canada, en périphérie nord des cantons de l’Est, dans ce qui deviendra le comté de Mégantic. L’instigateur et chef du projet, l’agent d’émigration A. C. Buchanan, avait pour objectif premier de prouver la viabilité, avec le soutien de l’État, de la colonisation par les « pauvres » que préconisait depuis longtemps le sous- secrétaire aux Colonies Robert Wilmot-Horton.

  • Stanley Township
    Municipal Inventory of Cultural Heritage Properties - Stanley Township Inventory of Designated and Potential Heritage Properties Municipality of Bluewater, Ontario (Comprised of the former Geographical Townships of Hay and Stanley and the villages of Bayfield, Hensall and Zurich) Written by Jodi Jerome for the Bluewater Heritage Committee, 2014 Introduction When the Municipality of Bluewater amalgamated the townships and hamlets of Hay and Stanley and the villages of Bayfield, Hensall and Zurich in 2001, the result was a municipality rich in built heritage, culture and tradition. The Bluewater Heritage Committee has enlarged the work started by the earlier Bayfield Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) and the Bayfield Historical Society. The plaquing program that began with the Bayfield LACAC has been continued by the Bluewater Heritage Committee, who have enlarged the original plaquing program recognizing, not designating, sites of significance throughout the municipality. At present, there are no properties in the Stanley Township area of the Municipality of Bluewater that have been designated. There are century farms recognized by the Junior Farmers and properties recognized by historical plaques from the Bluewater Heritage Committee, which relies on members of the public volunteering their home and/or farm for a plaque and splitting the cost for the plaque. Bluewater Heritage Committee Goals: -expand the recognition of potential heritage resources within the municipality -locate and publicly recognize the rich

This Learning and Evaluation Situation should only be considered after the period of Canadian society in New France around 1745 has been taught and evaluated. This is because this LES demands a certain amount of prior historical knowledge of this period. 2. The LES emphasizes Competency 2 by the very nature of its title, although the other two competencies are also present. 3. The heading of each unit consists of one or two guiding questions. The students are expected to answer these guiding questions after scaffolding has been done through a series of activities that continuously increase in difficulty and sophistication as they unfold. These guiding questions embrace the whole concept under discussion, so view them as complex tasks. 4. The evaluation tools are found at the end of this Teacher’s Guide. They are to be used at the teacher’s discretion. 5. The bibliography is unfortunately limited to everyday life during the periods in question. English works on societal change between 1745 and 1820 are nonexistent.
