🇨🇦【4K HDR】 Downtown BURLINGTON CANADA WALK TOUR- Halton Region Ontario (Summer 2022)
Welcome to Virtual TourOnTo channel. In this week's video, we are bringing you guys on our continuing virtual walking tours but this time in the downtown city of BURLINGTON, Ontario, Canada.
BURLINGTON is a city in the Regional Municipality of Halton at the northwestern end of Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada. Along with Milton to the north, BURLINGTON forms the western end of the Greater Toronto Area and is also part of the Hamilton metropolitan census area.
Before the 19th century, the area between the provincial capital of York and the township of West Flamborough was home to the Mississauga nation. In 1792, John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, named the western end of Lake Ontario "BURLINGTON Bay" after the town of Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The British purchased the land on which BURLINGTON now stands from the Mississaugas in Upper Canada Treaties 3 (1792), 8 (1797), 14 (1806), and 19 (1818). Treaty 8 concerned the purchase of the Brant Tract, 14.0 km2 (3,450 acres) on BURLINGTON Bay which the British granted to Mohawk chief Joseph Brant for his service in the American Revolutionary War. Joseph Brant and his household settled on this tract of land around 1802. Brant is accordingly often referred to as the founder of BURLINGTON, and the city of BURLINGTON still celebrates an annual Joseph Brant Day in early August. Subsequent disputes between the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Canadian government over payment for the Brant Tract and the Toronto Purchase were settled in 2010 for the sum of $145 million (CAD).
By the turn of the 19th century, the name "BURLINGTON" was already in common use. With the completion of the local survey after the War of 1812, the land was opened for settlement. Early farmers prospered in the Burlington area because the area had fertile soil and moderate temperatures. Produce from the farms was shipped out via the bustling docks of the lakeside villages of Port Nelson and Wellington Square, as well as Brown's Wharf in the nearby village of Port Flamborough (which was to become Aldershot). Lumber taken from the surrounding forests also competed for space on the busy docks. However, in the latter half of the 19th century, increased wheat production from Western Canada convinced local farmers to switch to fruit and vegetable production. QUOTED FROM:
