Godbolt Before 1857, Lucan was a very small dot on the map, and was (known as "Marystown.” The village is said to have been named after Mary—wife of John MacDonald— a member of the Canada Company who was engaged in surveying the village and surrounding territory, In 1857 the main‘line of the Grand Trunk Railway from Sarnia to Toronto was built and we are told that there were noisy celebra­ tions which marked the opening of the railroad and the changing of the name of the village to Lucan, Since most of the Irish it was fitting should be called aftei’ that name in Ireland. Viscountess Alexander, present governor-general of Canada, is a daughter of the Earl of Lucan in Ireland). When the railway was built, it was necessary to have a permanent post office. Accordingly William Porte was sworn in as Lucan’s first postmaster in 1859, In an historical sketch of the Township of Biddulph, written by W. D. Stanley, we read that William Porte was that township from 1857 In 1868 he served on Township Council. From Page’s Historical Middlesex we learn that Lucan became an incorporated vil­ lage and was separated from the Township of Biddulph. William Porte, along with D. McRoberts, H. B. Quarry and A. Goodacre served on the first village council. R. H. O’Neil (who had been a former reeve of Biddulph) can’s first reeve. In 1873 the popu­ lation was listed as assessed value was $148,230. Lu­ can’s first inhabitants were R. H. O’Neil, B. (“Barney”) Stanley, William .Stanley, Robert McLean, William Porte, M. Connigan, Rob­ ert Fox and John Farr. On another page in the Atlas we find a list of Lucan’s business men in 1878. These include: J. R. Armi­ tage, merchant: T. T. Atkinson, carpenter; John F. Cain, proprietor of “Royal” Hotel (the location of Lucan Creamery); S. Gibson, plan­ ing mill; W. H. Hutchins, merchant and reeve; W. MacDiarmid, barris­ ter; R. Hotel; Queen’s butcher jeweler people were that Lucan a village of (Incidentally wife of the clerk of to 1862, Biddulph Atlas of in 1872 served as Lu- 1,100 and the McLean, proprietor Central R.

In a short item on the of Lucan, the Atlas says: was a place of very little tance until the railway was opened, since which time its growth has been extremely rapid. It contains besides mercantile establishments, several industries.” In another para­ graph the writer says: “The wel­ fare of the place^, has of late been imperilled by unfortunate exhibi­ tions of malice, which have lately culminated in incendiary fires, which have created a great deal of distrust and checked for a time the progress of the village.” (The un- fortuante exhibitions of malice mentioned here refer to the events leading up to the Donnelly tragedy of 1880. This unfortunate event gave Lucan a lessness which come).

This is not a substitute for roost paint, as it should not touch birds directly.
