In a November 1936 copy
of 'the Sentinel a' story
appeared as to the naming of
'''a picturesque village on the
Nine Mile river in the county
of Huron, Dungannon".
For some time after the
township of Ashfield was
settled there were no mail
facilities so in 1852 a post
office .was established south
of the present village. In
1854 a store was started to
the north. In 1855 William
Mallough of County Tyrone,
Ireland came, and after lay-
ing out the site of a proposed
village' called it Dungannon,
in honour of the town in
Ireland from where he came.
That will make our little
village celebrate its 125th
birthday in 1980 and give our
population something to
think about by way of a
reunion of sorts.
