Thoroughness Phone 37 for appointment first of Howick s 1;.'ioneers Settled In Township .Near Gorrie, 1851 U n Ability — Time .tested U 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.
