Table of Contents

Westport

Sawmills built by Sheldon Stoddard and the Manhard brothers in 1828-32, during the construction of the Rideau Canal, fostered the development of Westport. Grist mills and wharves were soon erected and by 1848 a post office was established. Within a decade the hamlet had three hundred residents and several prosperous businesses, including the General Store of Declan Foley and mills of William H. Fredenburgh, a prominent lumber exporter. The communitys growth was stimulated by agricultural prosperity and the construction of the Brockville, Westport and Sault Ste. Marie Railway, completed in 1888 between Brockville and Westport, a distance of forty-five miles. With several takeovers, the railway continued to run until 1952.

Inverary

Inverary is a community in South Frontenac, Ontario. In 1845 it was called Storrington; in 1860 the name was changed to Inverary.
