Area Information The wording on the standpipe reflects the fact that it is located in the former Township of Ernestown, now part of Loyalist Township which islocated on the shores of Lake Ontario. The original name of Odessa was Mill Creek. In 1838 the York Road passed through the village giving its economy a boost. In 1855, the village was renamed by its postmaster to commemorate the siege of the Black Sea port of Odessa (now in the Ukraine) in 1854 by the British Fleet during the Crimean War. The primary centres of settlement in Loyalist are Amherstview, Bath and Odessa. The village bills itself as "home of the Babcock Mill," which historically was powered by Millhaven Creek which runs through the heart of Odessa.
