Township became the centre of the "Colborne Clique" , an anti- Company ntiCompany faction, after he re- signed in 1838, In Goderich, the members of the new regime seemed to have lost interest in the prosect begun with such high hopes a decade before. An account written in 1850 states: "The original buildings were, as a matter of course, all of log, and the great number of these tenements still remaining (re- tained, seemingly, as if they were cherished for their anti- quity)give a very backwoods appearance to the place. A few good houses have been er- ected within the past few years, hut far fewer than might have been expected. On the whole, as the District town of a large District, the headquarters of the Canada Company, and the only shipping port for many miles of coast, the place has made but slow progress". Company rule ended, how- ever, with the incorporation of the town in 18.1:a. In the 1860's salt deposits were discovered nearby, resulting in the estab- lishment of a still thriving salt mining and processing industry. Goderich's natural harbour made it a strategic trans -ship- ment point for wheat after the opening up of the West, and grain storage still is a promin- ent feature of local industry. The growth of Goderich has not obscured the unusual "cart- wheel" plan attributed to John Galt, and several fine old buildings reflect the mellow days of the Canada Company. "Gairhraid" is gone, but one may still visit the nearby tomb of "Tiger" Dunlop, high on a hill overlooking the town whose site he chose 136 years ago.
