Not se many years ago, and within the memory of the present generation, the spot which now marks the existence of this int- eortant centre of trade and indus- try was a dense and almost impen- etrable forest echoing back the scream ei wild fowl and the croak of reptile. Without any natural advantages of position and with the actual disad- vantages of what was in the early days considered an iuferior tract uf land -from being comparatively low and therefore more difficult to bring under the subjection of the husband- man -this spot was passed by unheed- ed by thousands who, to use a com- mon expression, " went further to fare worse." Its lowness constituted a serious impediment also to any ap- proach to a settlement at this point, and other places grew apace and pros- pered, too, on all sides, and within such easy distances, that none ever dreamed of a great future in store for the " Guide Board Swamp," as the place was lamiliarly known from the met that there then stood for many years at the " four corners" a post-. office and finger board pointing to- wards ligmondville, Ainleyville (now Brussels) and Goderich, showing the direction and number of miles to each place. The first who ever had the courage to settle in " the swamp" was An- drew Steene, who' located on lot 26, con, 1, McKillop,, at an early day in the history of that township. Ile made a clearing and built a log house on the southeast corner of the lot, which was the first and for years the only habitation on what now com- prises the town of Seaforth. This house stood until quite recently as originally built but was destroyed by lire lately, a part of it, the oldest landmark in the place, yet remaining m the condition of a ruin. At a very early date lot 11, con. 1, Tuckersmith, was purchased from the Canada Company by one McGregor, who took up his residence further west of the Huron Road, beyond Har- puthey, clearing some ten acres, how- ever on the corner where Carmichael's hotel afterwards stood and after this amount of improvement was made up- on the '81'4ce he offered the whole mo acres for $45o, without a purchaser for a long time, but finally disposed of it at about that figure to Christo- pher Sperling. Shortly after this Andrew McKear- nen, an Irishman, purchased three acres on the northeast corner ofthe lot and erected a log tavern on _ the very spot since occupied by Carmich- ael's hotel. This was the second. hab- itation and the first public house in the place. The above two •houses were the only ones here until the in- auguration of the Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Railway, afterwards the, Buffalo and Lake Huron. About this time great activity was evinced in. speculation in th? lands in the vicin- ity of the supposed line of the pro- posed railway. Under this excitement the balance of McGregor's lot was purchased from Mr. Sperling ny Messrs. Patton, Bernard & Le Froy, professional men from the east, who at •once surveyed the whole lot into a town plot and through whose enter- prise Seaforth received its first im- pulse. The name of the place was so called by the above gentlemen in .their first registered village plans, in honor ol the native place of one of them in Scotland,which name it has since re- tained, Mr. Patton was of Scotch descent, being a son of Andrew Patton,- a nat- ive of Fifeshire, Scotland, a Major in ?i.U. 45th Regiment of the .line,from which he retired after the close of the Anglo-American war in 1812-15 and settled in the county of Lennox, U.C., where his family were reared. He was at that time a law partner of Hon. Sir. Macdonald of Kingston. He was afterteards Hon. James Patton and a partner oi the Rt. Hon, Sir John A.' Macdonald and the last surviving one of the trio who may be said to have been the founders of Seaforth. Messrs. Bernard and Le Froy were lawyers of Barrie, Ont. The former had been a regular army officer of high rank, an Irishmen, who subse- quently returned to his native coun- try. A stationand village on the Northern Railway, near Barrie, were named after the latter. A brother of Hon. Mr. Patton was the first postmaster in the_ place. He, in company with one Torr,were among thc. • earliest business men, having moved here in 186r from Wroxeter. Previous to that the postollice had been at Harpurhey, but through the enterprise of a few men who control- led the destinies of SeaforthIlarpur- hey (which until about that date had been the leading place of the two) lost the office, which was removed here as above stated. About the same time also most of the business Men of Harpurhey giving up the fight for supremacy which had been waged be- tween the two localities for scene time past, moved down to Scaforth, there- by raiding to the prosperity of the latter place and effectually settling the destiny of Harputhey as a place te any possible future importance. Among those who moved down at that time were Dr. Coleman (of Cole- man & Gunlock, who was the first practising physician in the place), Ballantyne (present Inspector of Licenses), James liatt (shoe dealer and subsequently largely identified with municipal affairs), Um. Grassie, also afterwards closely identified with public matters ; Thos. Knox (who built the Commercial hotel and carried it on for sonic years) and Edward Ilickson of Hickson & Bleasdell, who erected a store and commenced business at D. D. Wilson's present stand. At that time the Huron Road was a very primitive and inferior one from the western limits of the county of Perth, which had macadamized it as far as the Ilibbert and town line ; 'lett its extension westward, together with the 'adoption of Seaforth as the southern terminus of the " Grey Turn- pike" instead of Harputhey, as was originally intended, added still furth- er to the prosperity of the place by a iresh stimulation of its development and progress. When the Buffalo and Lake Huron Road was first built, though Harper - hay was many times the extent of Seaforth, neither place was considered nf sufficient importance by the Rail- way Company to require a station. The people of the former piece, how- ever built a flag station themselves ; fitful the people of EgInOlitIVille built a Seaforth Road -now Main street of Seaforth. They were both used siinp- ly as flag stations ior a considerable time -meanwhile both localities using their utmost endeavors with the Com- pany to esta.blisli the real station with themselves. No action. was tak- en, however, until Messrs. Patton, Bernard and Le Froy laid out the vil- lage plot and made an offer of sta- tion grounds to the Company, free • of charge on ccuulition of their locat- ing their station thereupon. This of- fer was accepted with the additional condition on the Company's part that a station be likewise built free of eX- pense to themselves. Thereupon the inhabitants of Egmondville and Sea - forth combined and erected the station still used: and on the spot w iere we now ete it ; and Harputhey w. s oblig- ed to give up the contest for suprem- acy as above narrated,though previous to this tiine it. was quite a flourishing village, containing nearly .a delsen stores, several hotels and a corres- ponding number of • mechanics' estab- lishments of all description. And now began the .same strife be- tween Egmondville and Seaforth which had previously existed between Seaforth and Harpurhey. In short, the people of the first -named place on- ly assisted these of Seaforth to the ascendency over Harnurhey, to . be themselves shnilarly deprived. of it by -this now important place whose embryo growth, if not exactly inaug- urated, was at least wonderiully de- veloped by the decadence of its two jealous neighbors. Even subsequent to the establish- ment of the peneanent railway Sta- tion here, Eqmondville was 'tor echne thne by far the most populous -mai 'important place, containing nearly . a dozen goods stores, with local mane. ufacturet of variouskinds to. -corres- pond with the' extent of its then tx*- uiaticm. and. mercantile. trade. • Soon, however, the relative position of the two places coininenced to be changed and as in .the ease of ilarputhey• the. nierchanteand inecbanics of. Eginond- ville began to exchange locationestlie• movement continuing till • the chief part .of the business men of the latter. place had withdrawn from it and see - tied in the rival village, _now. fast as - seining the proportions and im ortance of a busy little .railroad town. . .
