Area Information
Location: Nestled between the St. Lawrence River and the Hwy. 401. Originally named New Johnstown, the name was changed to Cornwall in honour of Prince George, the Duke of Cornwall. The City was later incorporated as a town in 1834 and became a city in 1945. Cornwall was one of the largest settlements in Upper Canada at the time that war was declared. It would emerge as an important garrison town, communications and supply post during the War of 1812. From June 18, 1812 to February 16, 1815, the United States was at War with Britain. Canada was the battleground. During this war the Americans came very close to annexing Upper Canada (Ontario) and all territory west of it. City of Cornwall
