The City of Brockville is one of the oldest and historically important communities in Ontario. It was first settled and founded by American citizens, loyal to the British government, following the closing of the British-American War of 1775-83. These new settlers were known as United Empire Loyalists. William Buell, Daniel Jones and Charles Jones were the three village founders that were granted the land which forms the historic area of the original downtown Brockville. A town site was first laid out about 1802 on the central portion owned by William Buell, who lived here for 47 years, from 1785 to 1832, developing his properties for later settlers. Brockville stands on the eastern edge of the Canadian Shield, a rocky, geological formation. The local terrain, near the shore of the St. Lawrence River, although not conducive for farming included Buell’s Bay, Buell’s Creek, three rising plateaus from the shoreline, and a small island, close to the shore, later named Blockhouse Island. These characteristics were exploited as the small village grew in the early 1800s. In 1809, the government of Upper Canada decided to build a new court house and jail here, on the high plateau back of the shore, on a piece of land offered by William Buell. These facilities led to the establishment of the seat of government here for the District of Johnstown and then later the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Court House Square and Green, surrounded by public buildings and tall neo-Gothic churches, in front of the 1842-built Brockville Court House, is one of eastern Ontario’s most attractive urban spaces.

Brockville was named in 1812, to honour General Isaac Brock, the “Hero of Upper Canada”, whose command of the British and militia forces of this province led to success during the second BritishAmerican War of 1812-14. His tragic death in October 1812 confirmed the wisdom of being the first adopters of his name for the small village. Later, when Brockville’s population exceeded 1000 residents, the village became one of the first places to send an elected representative to the provincial legislature. In 1832, Brockville was successful in becoming the first incorporated and self-governing “Police Village” in Upper Canada. Located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, Brockville became a popular port-of-call for the steamships that travelled up and down the river. These ships carried immigrants to Canada and raw materials and manufactured products to their markets. The waterfront of Brockville was soon dotted with new industries like foundries, tanneries, breweries, as well as numerous warehouses.
In the 1850s, the town of Brockville was made the centre of railway transportation, as both the Grand Trunk Railway and the Brockville & Ottawa Railway opened their rail lines here. These decisions led to further growth and development of this community. Brockville is the site of Canada’s first railway tunnel, opened in 1860. It provided a route for trains from the Ottawa Valley to the Brockville waterfront for over 110 years. The Brockville Railway Tunnel passes completely under the centre of the city for a third of a mile and is open to the public. The downtown streets of Brockville are an “outdoor museum” of beautiful buildings throughout the Historic Area. The variety of early stone houses, brick commercial blocks and Victorian homes has been preserved over our 200 years of growth. This cultural heritage is something that needs to be discovered on foot. Doug Grant Local Historian 5
Brockville is rich in history being settled in 1785. City Hall is a fine example of the architecture that exists today in the downtown area. The building, which was constructed in 1864, was once a farmers’ market. Today it houses the municipal government and the market is now found next door on Market Street West. The public is welcome to visit “Victoria Hall” anytime during the week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Any questions pertaining to the city or services can be brought to the front desk. Most city billings including taxes, licenses, water, tickets, etc. can be paid at the Revenue Office, located within the front doors on the left. City Hall is comprised of the Mayor’s and Clerk’s office, Economic Development, Treasury, Planning/Building and Human Resources found in the Victoria Hall building; Community Services and Operations found at the Gord Watts Centre on North Augusta Road; Police located on Parkedale Avenue and Fire - main station located on Laurier Boulevard. City services include maintaining the roads, lights, water and sewers, as well as 16 islands, 38 parks (including a campground), two arenas, harbour, arts centre, 10 athletic fields and 7 km of walking trails. The municipal government consists of a mayor and nine councillors (three each from the three wards – east, central and west) who are elected for a 4-year term. Information regarding the municipal government or the City of Brockville can be found on the website www.brockville.com or by calling/ visiting City Hall.

Brockville was established on the north bank of the St. Lawrence River, and initially expanded east and west, from the river north to the CNR railway line. With the development of Highway 401, the city continued to grow northerly, and now encompasses approximately 2.5 square miles. A description is given for the types of housing found in each section of the city, as well as the surrounding townships of Elizabethtown-Kitley and Augusta. (See map layout of city found in centre section of book.) WEST END This section of the city runs from the river north to the railway tracks and west of Perth Street to the city limits. The architecture is a mix of heritage styles found closer to the waterfront to recently built modern styles. There are many choices from executive high-end priced homes (many with river views), to moderate older brick homes. The following is a description of some of the more recent developed areas. Country Club Place - A condominium development on the river across from the golf course consisting of 3-storey townhouses overlooking the river. Brock Woods - The first homes were built in 1991. There is a wide mix of single family homes, from 1200 sq. ft. bungalows to 2600 sq. ft. 2-storey model semidetached dwellings. Pearl Street West - This small cul-de-sac, within the Brock Woods subdivision, contains 22 homes including single family units on oversized lots, “lifestyle” semi-detached bungalows. Susanna Lane - upscale townhouses on the North side of King Street West. Butlers Creek – Found at the west end of Church Street, this development of 52 freehold attached town homes are a popular retirement location. Snow-removal and grass-cutting is done under a group contract, at a nominal monthly cost. The majority of the units are 2 bedroom/2 bath bungalows, the balance being 2storey/3 bedroom units.

Let Brockville and the surrounding communities create some happy trails in your life. The Brock Trail is a 7km scenic pathway that runs along Brockville's beautiful waterfront and through city parks. Historic plaques are found along the trails to provide a glimpse of the past. Passing through Brockville is the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail that takes you to the Quebec Border going east and Niagara-on-the-Lake going west. Communities in the 1000 Islands area are connected by the Thousands Islands Parkway, a 37km stretch of roadway and path running along the river. Biking enthusiasts can enjoy amazing views as they visit Brockville, Rockport and Gananoque. Today Brockville manages to offer all the amenities of a large city while keeping a relaxed demeanor. During the hot and lazy days of summer residents, visitors and tourists from around the world come to Brockville to fish, sail, camp, golf (at five local courses!), scuba dive, cycle, and hike. THE ST. LAWRENCE RIVER IS TO DIVE FOR. This region – dubbed Caribbean North - is getting a reputation as the hottest fresh water scuba diving destination in the world. The sunken shipwrecks, from steel freighters to old schooners, are well preserved. Did you
know? Zebra mussels – which filter water and algae – are credited with giving the St. Lawrence River waters amazing levels of clarity and drawing divers to its underwater attractions of historical shipwrecks. Did you know? There are actually an estimated 1,864 islands in the 1000 islands. Tom Thumb Island is reputed to be smallest though many dispute that claim as folklore. Wolfe Island near Kingston is the largest. Brockville starts at the east end of the scenic 1000 Islands Parkway. Along the Parkway – which runs parallel to the St. Lawrence River – is a 37-kilometre paved bike trail, a popular pastime for walkers, cyclists and joggers. It’s picturesque detour just off the Highway 401 between Brockville and Gananoque that should not be missed. Look for Singer Castle rising from Dark Island in the St. Lawrence River just past Brown’s Bay Provincial Park, a favourite picnic and beach area just west of Brockville. Brockville, one of the oldest and most beautiful communities in Ontario. As the eastern gateway to the 1000 Islands, we offer one of the most accessible waterfronts and many of Canada’s historical treasures.

NATURAL GAS SERVICES Natural gas services are provided to the Brockville area by Enbridge Gas who does not make a profit on the cost of the natural gas commodity nor its transportation to Ontario. Since natural gas is a commodity it is traded in the competitive marketplace, therefore the price is subject to change. Enbridge Gas reviews the price quarterly and adjusts the price charged to customers accordingly. For more information call 1-877-ENBRIDGE for service information. PURCHASE GAS VARIANCE ACCOUNT We set our gas supply prices for customers every three months based on the market forecast for the cost of natural gas for the next 12 month period. However natural gas prices change continually throughout the year. Due to the fluctuation of gas prices in the market there is an ongoing difference between the forecast cost charged to customers each month by Enbridge and the actual cost that we pay for the gas. The difference between our forecast costs and actual costs is tracked in an account called the Purchase Gas Variance Account (PGVA).
