Maitland is located along the St. Lawrence River approximately five kilometres east of the City of Brockville. The village was briefly settled in the 1750s by the French who established a shipyard and small fort here; they called this settlement Point au Baril. After the Battle of the Thousand Islands the French were forced out and the area was primarily settled by the British, becoming the village of Maitland. The village was named after Sir Peregrine Maitland, who was Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada. By the end of the century, a cheese factory was in operation called the Chateau Cheese Company. This factory operated out of the old customs house until the 1950s; most of the building was demolished.
