Title |
Village of Huntingdon, Its Beginnings
|
Abstract |
A history of the founding of Huntingdon, Quebec, and its first citizens. The town was first settled by British soldiers after the War of 1812 and the fertile land in the area led to a successful farming economy. Once the fear of attack from the Americans was gone, in the 1820s businessmen established lumber and grist mills on the banks of the Chateauguay River.
