It was in 1841 that the county wee organized and given is official seal. Huron County in the past century, has contributed Inch to the development of 'Canada sad particulaiy in the West. It was settled originally by a fine . sock from the British Isles. Their sons and grandsons had still the pioneer- ing blood in them and" when the West opened up they migrated to longe, numbers. A list of Huron County boys, who have helped make the West woalrl fill tbfs column. dust a few might be mentioned. Hon. James Green- way, who was premier of Manitoba for 12 years, came from Centralia, and beflore he went West was mem- ber for South Huron in the Canad- ian House.
