HISTORY OF GRENVILLE COUNTY
HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC.
The Grenville Pioneer and Historical Society was founded in 1891. The qualification then for membership was "a descendant of an ancestor resident in Canada in 1792." First president was F.J. French, a lawyer and Queen's Counsel, who was born in Burritt's Rapids in 1847. By 1914 women were allowed to become members as well. The membership fee was "10 cents in 1891" and it had changed to "50 cents for males and adults and 25 cents for ladies and all persons under 21" by 1914. In 1922 the name of the society had changed, and was listed in their records as the Grenville Pioneer Society. The Society was disbanded by 1924 and all the material that had been collected was picked up from Mr. French's home after his death in 1924 by the provincial Archivist in Toronto.
The Grenville County Historical Society was reorganized in 1959, largely through the efforts of the late Phyllis Stephenson and of Jean Wadds (at that time Jean Casselman, MP for Grenville-Carleton), with the first official meeting taking place at St. Mark's School in Prescott on Dec. 1, 1959, with Edward McNally sworn in as president.
GCHS originally stored the artifacts and paper materials that were collected, in the Grenville County Registry Office and in the homes of members, until given the opportunity of moving to Room 36 in the Prescott Municipal Building. That room also became too small for the collection. The holdings were moved in 1980 to the second floor of Homewood Museum, and it served as an archives, resource centre, and office for the society while they administered the operation of the museum for the Ontario Heritage Foundation. The museum interpreted the history of the Solomon Jones family. In 1991 GCHS moved to the west wing of Homewood and operated the Archival Resource Centre, as well as continuing to operate the museum, until the collection moved once more in 1995, this time to Crane House at 439 Edward Street, Prescott. Our last move took us to the the old Grand Trunk Station at 500 Railway Ave. in Prescott. We are particularly proud of our new quarters, since extensive renovations have been done by our members.

Long before Grenville County was given this name, approximately 500 years ago, it was occupied by a native population. The St. Lawrence Iroquois lived in longhouses in agricultural communities with some of these sites containing as many as 1600 people. Two important archeological excavations have been done in Grenville County, one in 1974 in Roebuck, and one in 1987 in Maynard where much was learned about these early native tribes. The natives were farmers growing corn, beans, squash, sunflowers, and tobacco, sometimes fishing for food and hunting on a smaller scale.
The French also occupied Grenville County with explorers and fur traders passing through this area en route to Fort Frontenac (Kingston) to meet the Indian hunters and trappers. The French built a supply depot at La Galette (Johnstown) in the 1670's, and a shipyard and star-shaped fort at Pointe au Baril (Maitland) in 1758, with the ships, the Outouaise and the Iroquoise being built there. France and Britain were competing for control of the St. Lawrence River area and this broke out into a full-scale war in the 1750's. As the French troops were withdrawing to Quebec, they leveled the fortifications at Pointe au Baril so it would be of no use to the advancing British troops. Before long, the French decided to build new fortifications that would prevent attacks from the west, and built a fort in 1759 on Isle Royale (Chimney Island) called Fort Levis. It was here that the last battle in North America between English and French troops took place in August 1760.
This area, part of the province of Quebec, was sparsely occupied when the Loyalists came here. In 1783 surveyors laid out the townships of Edwardsburgh, Royal Township Number Six, and Augusta, Royal Township Number Seven, along the river for the men and women who maintained their loyalty to the British Crown. Men who had served under Major Edward Jessup were given lots in these two townships. The first settlers arrived in this area in 1784. They drew their lots and built temporary shelters, until they were able to establish more permanent homes. Crops were planted, mills were soon developed, and a court house was built in 1795 for the Eastern District at Johnstown, the first town site which was established in 1789. Oxford-on-Rideau was surveyed for settlement in 1791, Wolford, in 1795 and South Gower in 1799.
Over the years other groups have come to this beautiful section of Ontario including many English and Irish in the 1800's, and many Dutch in the 1950's. Today we are a mix of many nationalities.
BOUNDARY/NAME CHANGES
This area was located in the old province of Quebec and in 1788 Lord Dorchester divided the western part of this province into four territories: Lunenburg (Luneburg), Mecklenburg, Nassau, Hesse. Our area was part of Lunenburg, named for the former principality of Brunswick- Lunenburg, part of the kingdom of Hanover. These districts were renamed in 1791 when the province of Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada. The districts were divided into nineteen counties by a proclamation dated 16 July 1792 of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. Our area became part of the Eastern District, which encompassed the present counties of Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry, Prescott, Russell, Leeds, Grenville, and Carleton.. The districts were again divided and by January 1, 1800 we were located in the District of Johnstown, which at that time included the counties of Leeds, Grenville, and Carleton (Lanark was part of Carleton as well). By 1849 the Johnstown District was made up of only Leeds and Grenville. When districts were abolished in 1850, the Johnstown District became the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville and still exist as such today. In 1867 with confederation, Upper Canada became the province of Ontario in the country of Canada.
The composition of the townships have changed as well over the years. Augusta, Edwardsburg, and South Gower have remained the same, but the four townships of Wolford, Oxford-on-Rideau, Montague and Marlborough made up one municipality in the District of Johnstown until 1850. At that time they became separate townships, part of the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville. From 1850 until the 1990's Grenville County was composed of five townships: Wolford, Oxford-on-Rideau, and South Gower in the north, Augusta and Edwardsburg in the south. Recently, with restructuring, these boundaries have been changed with the townships of South Gower, Oxford-on-Rideau, and the town of Kemptville amalgamating to form the township of North Grenville, and the township of Wolford and the village of Merrickville joining to form the village of Merrickville-Wolford. More changes are expected.
