Huron County was part of the Hur- on ;Tract, a block of land containing • about one million actes which was purbhe,sed fram the Crown in, 1828 for..87e per acre.

Wawan- th. however, is an Indian name. In 1835 the population of Huron was only 1,016, but by 1871 it haditiereas- ee to 66,166, much more than the 40,824 of today. ' Two men who were prominent in rue early history os Huron County were Dr. William. (Tiger) Dunlop, wiedge -home was in Goderich, and Col. Anthony• Van Egmond, -who built his home overkioking the Bayfield River in. Egmondville, which village was named in his honour. Dr. Dun lop was a very picturesque figure. His nickname came from a narrow escape he had: while in India When he •Saved his life by dashing the ',.coittents of his snuff box into the face of a tiger. In 1828 the first road was cut through the forest connecting Gode-, • rich with Toronto via Guelph. This• 'was called the Huron Road and was built under the direction of Col. Van ,Egniond. At one time he kept twenty- tour-ncrse teams on that road bring- ing immigrants who bought the land at $1.50 to $2.5() per acre. The .next road ran from Goderich to London and was called the London Road. About 3852 Brucefield was settled and roads were cut from there to Hayfield. the estate of. a 'Belgian noblerhan, and • Seaforth and 'northern points. A lake -shore road j.oiried Goderich to Grand Bend. Alt these roads had toll gates. A stretch of original corduroy road being lifted near :Dashwood shows that they built well. Our fine highways of today follow these routes.

Huronites 'should „be forever grateful to those gallant pitaneers, of whom an .early •poet, probably Galt or Dunlop, wrote 'these sympathetic lines: - "From the lone shielding inethe,liaisty Island, Mountains divide us and the waste of seas, e.
