Synopsis

Discover the early story of Peterborough County, from forest to thriving towns. This historical account traces the first settlers, immigration of 1825, and the growth of towns, mills, schools, and churches that shaped the region.

In vivid narrative form, the book blends local lore with documentary detail to illuminate how a dense frontier became a county of communities, infrastructure, and civic institutions. It highlights pivotal moments—from the initial mill sites and road building to the establishment of schools and religious congregations—while keeping the focus on the people who built this landscape.

• Account of the first settlers in Smith and surrounding townships


• Details of the 1825 immigration and other key migrations


• Development of mills, courts, schools, and churches across Peterborough


• Biographical notes on early leaders and the evolution of local governance

Ideal for readers of Canadian pioneer history, local genealogies, and anyone curious about how a frontier town grew into a county.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
