By 11, W. ;Sr. Wade,
One hundred years ago, January
.1.80, the first council of How-
Tewnship was formed to ad-
minister its own affairs, and is
this year celebrating that event.
Howick Township received its
name from Henry George Grey,
who entered the British Parliament
as Lord Hawich. (or Howiek as it
is pronounced) in 1829, Hawick is
a town in Roxburgh County on the
.border . between Scotland and Eng-
land, noted far its knitwear and
hosiery goods, some of which are
exported to Canada,
Yes, a century is a long time!
Rowlok has had its good times
and bad times, hut Howick's record
as a township is an enviable one,
of which its people can he justly
proud. Its sons and daugh ters have
taken their places in many walks
of life, many of thorn. having risen
to prominent positions in Canada
and the U.S.A.
In 1851 Howick received its first
settler, John Carter, who settled
on. Lot 11, Concession 8, near the
Village of Gerrie. He was the only
settler for two years, In 1851
others, some of whom were Mita"
ell, Walker, Rogers. and Cook, sot-
teld in or around what was known
as the Town Plot, now Fordwich.
Greers and Leeches settled on what
was known as Howiekville, now
G'orrie. Wroxeter was first • settle.:!
John and Ellen Carter, first settlers
in the Township of Howick.
by Patton and Gibson brothers,
From now on, especially 1$64,
the year of the Land Sale, settlers
came in so fast that by 1869 there
was PO land to be taken up, only
by buying from. those who were lA
earlier, Some lands were held by
speculators which was a hindrance
to the progresa of the township,
Afterwards the council passed a
by-law which read as. follows;
"Moved •by Mr, Bolton, seeontied.
by Mr. Hollinsheacl that the Muni-
cipality of the Township of Howick
do petition the Governor-in,Ccem-
oil, to have the Crown Land Agent
'for the County of Hum instructed
to resell the lands already sold,
but as yet unocaupied."
The situation here was that if
a man lived on either side of one
of those farms, he had to make
a road at his own expense across
these vacant farrns in order to
reach a road already made.
Later on these lands were sold
.by the government, giving back
to the township fifty 'cents per
acre, hut apparently here again
they had difficulty in collecting
their share from the Governor-in-
Council, as we find from minutes
in 1861.
