Lambton County, Ontario Canada Names and Places -G-H-
Garville
A post office opened at Lot 19, Con. 5, Township of Dawn, with
George Boyle as postmaster. Named after a post office in Scotland
called "Gary." It operated until rural mail service was established.
Glen Rae
So called after one John Rae, who built and operated a stave mill at
this point, situated on the M. C. R. 4 miles east of Oil City. A
store and post office remain to mark the spot. Opened about 1888
with L. A. Riley as first postmaster.
Grand Bend
At this point the Aux Sable enters Lake Huron, after a bend of great
length and from this the name was given the settlement. Today,
particularly in the summer months, it is a busy place, being a
summering spot of no mean pretensions, many cottages, dance halls
and three hotels indicate its popularity. It lies partly in the
County of Lambton and partly in Huron County. The Lambton side of
this village was formerly called Brewster.
Grand Bend might well be called the watering place of all that
interior portion of Western Ontario within a radius reachable by
auto.
Hale
A post office opened at Lot 30, Con. 12, Dawn Township, in 1890.
First postmaster, John Hale, from whom it bore its name.
Heather
A post office on the 7th Con. Brooke, near east boundary, opened in
1889 with Donald McIntyre as first postmaster, so named from the
heather plant so dear to every Scotchman, and this was distinctly a
Scotch settlement.
Henry's Corner
Post Office in Sombra, so named after Warren T. Henry and Nathaniel
Henry who came here from about Kingston. Mr. Henry was first
postmaster.
Hillsborough
The name borne today by that hilly part of the shore of Lake Huron,
lying just at the north west corner of Plympton township. It is more
or less of a summer resort, and in common with many other points of
this shore line is very pleasing to the eye. At one time a post
office was opened here, probably about 1865, with Thomas Hill as
first postmaster, from whom it bears its name.
Holmesdale
At one time a stave mill village on the M. C. R., three miles east
of Oil City, called after Mr. Holmes of the firm of Holmes, Moore
and Courtright.
