HISTORY
OF
GREY TOWNSHIP
WALTON
Contributed by
Mrs. Douglas Ennis
"The Queen's Bush" was the
term used to designate that por-
tion of Ontario now known as
Huron County when it was un-
broken forest.
To that section of Huron
County, of which Walton now
forms the centre there was a
great influx of settlers during the
Years 1.85! to 1856, These settlers
were Rriglish Irish and Scots --
mostly Scots. The first settlers
came on foot along the Huron,
Road. There was no Seaforth
then and no direct road from,
Seeforth to Walton,
The immigrants crossed the
stream at places called Har-
phttrhey and Roxborough. Tt was
some time after 1854 that this
road was under brushed out to
the vicinity of 'Grieves' bridge by
McFadzean, his Son Thomas, and
Mr. Mosher. John Mcradzerin with
his two sons and Mr. Mosher came
in 1854 to "take up" lend. They
lit a fire and Snout the night on,
the 'knoll where Ross Bermett'S
orchard was located. it was not
long before nearly all the land
in the comnuinity was taker up
Mr. Smillie. Mr, Simpson. Mr.
McLeod and many ofithers came
(luring the 50's.
Walton is.sifunted at the south-
west corner of firer Township.
At one time known as the
"(Travel Road": a rend runs he-
iween Seaforth and Wroxeter
vt,hich forms the township line
between ferny, Morris and
Townships. During 1912
this road was widened. rebuilt
nod regravelled and in 1084 was
sittfacerl. Tt Is now known as
highway 12. This gives Walton
two primary county routes com-
parable to some of the province's
Inisiest highways,
Walton derived Its name from
Welton. rrialand. and was named
by 'Mr. .T. TTewill who nwnon
