Area Information
Location:
Deseronto’s history can be traced back to the period just after the American War of Independence when the British Government obtained grants of lands on the north side of Lake Ontario from the Mississauga people. These lands were then granted to Loyalists who had fought for the British and had been compelled to leave their homes in America.
- A large tract of land on the Bay of Quinte was awarded to a group of twenty Mohawk families led by Captain John Deserontyon
- In 1881 the village was renamed Deseronto in honour of Captain John Deserontyon. Deseronto was incorporated as a Town in 1889. Town of Deseronto
