Area Information
- Location: Canterbury is located west of the Trans-Canada Highway at the intersection of Route 122 and Route 630.
-
Early settlers of the area were Loyalists ( possibly disbanded soldiers of the King's American Regiment and their families) displaced by the end of the American Revolution (1780s)
-
In the winter of 1865, Canterbury was briefly the focus of much military activity when some 9000 British troops passed through the village on their way to "The Canadas" (Ontario and Quebec). The British government had become alarmed about the possibility of an American invasion following the end of the American Civil War and sent this military contingent to reinforce the garrisons in The Canadas. |
