Although Simcoe’s Act and the stories of the Underground Railroad remain ce- lebrated pieces of our province’s history, less is known about the lives of Black settlers as they established farms, businesses and communities. By the end of the 19th century, more than 40 Black settlements had been established in Upper Canada. One of the first communities was Wilberforce, founded in 1830 near Lucan, Ontario. In 1841, the Dawn Settlement was established near present-day Dresden, Ontario, which grew to include farm land, a sawmill, gristmill, brick yard, rope manufacturer and school. The community was founded by Rev. Josiah Henson, the inspiration behind Uncle’s Tom Cabin, who helped other freedom see- kers establish a life in Upper Canada. Archaeology has enormous potential to help shine a light on the contributions of early Black settlers in our province. In this issue we feature several archaeological projects that were largely community-led, which sought to preserve important pieces of Black history and heritage.

  • Introduction
    THE WINDSOR BORDER REGION INTRODUCTION A. VISITORS BEFORE 1700 THIS historical survey is intended to serve as an introduction to a series of documents relating to the exploration and settlement of Canada's southernmost frontier. A glance at the map of Canada suffices to locate that frontier-the Detroit River region.1 At 42° latitude the eye quickly focuses on a 20-by-30-mile rectangular peninsula whose south, west, and north shores are washed by the waters of Lake Erie, the Detroit River, and Lake St. Clair respec- tively. Today this peninsula is Essex County in the Province of Ontario. Local Chambers of Commerce refer to it as the Sun Parlour of Canada. A recent book which records the development of the county and its chief city, Windsor, during the past century is entitled Garden Gateway to Canada. These last two appellations indicate its frontier position, its mild climate, and its fertile fields. The exploration of the Detroit River region was retarded by the warring expeditions of the Father of New France. In 1609 and 1615, when Champlain accompanied Algonquin and Huron Indians on forays against their Iroquois enemies, whose strongholds were located between the Hudson and Genesee rivers in the present State of New York, he sealed the friendship between the French and the Hurons and Algonquins. At the same time, however, he provoked later alignments of the Iroquois with their Dutch and English neighbours of the Atlantic seaboard, because the savages became convinced that the French were the allies of their Indian enemies. Because of this enmity of the Iroquois for the French, for half a century the French explorers and missionaries could not follow the St.

  • Hiram Walker COMMEMORATIVE STATUE CAMPAIGN an INVITATION
    Hiram Walker COMMEMORATIVE STATUE CAMPAIGN AN INVITATION... 2017 is a year of important heritage milestones in our community. The City of Windsor celebrates our 125th anniversary of incorporation, while Canada and Ontario mark 150 years as a country and province. To help us celebrate our past, present and future, the City has launched the Celebrating2017 Initiative. This year-long campaign includes signature events, community celebrations, and a goal of creating meaningful projects for future generations. A “Legacy Project” included in this initiative is the Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue The Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue, to be installed on the corner of Riverside Drive and Devonshire Road, will become part of the City’s Sculptures, Monuments and Memorials Collection. The collection is a lasting way for us to honour our past and the stories that helped to form our City. Hiram Walker formed an important part of our City. He developed his own community - including a church, school, police force, fire service, and railway. Walkerville, as it became known, was created as a model town that was the envy of the continent. Hiram Walker’s progress in Walkerville changed the landscape of Windsor forever. Be a part of the Hiram Walker legacy. As a supporter of the Hiram Walker Commemorative Statue, your name will stand as a permanent piece of Windsor’s history alongside one of our City’s most esteemed residents. Visited by school groups, tourists, residents and historians, the statue will be a reminder of Windsor ingenuity for generations to come. you and hiram walker have much in common. PIONEERS..
