Area information.
In 1974, the village was amalgamated with East Flamborough, West Flamborough and Beverly townships to form the Town of Flamborough. In 2001, Flamborough and 5 other municipalities were amalgamated into the City of Hamilton. On January 1, 2001 the new city of Hamilton was formed from the amalgamation of six municipalities: Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Flamborough, Glanbrook, and Stoney Creek.
1669 saw French explorer Robert de la Salle follow Spencer Creek (from Lake Ontario) up toward present-day Westover and the Indigenous settlement of Tinawatawa. The area remained largely unaffected until the American Revolution unleashed a flood of Loyalists fleeing the American republic. Today Waterdown is the largest settlement in the former township of East Flamborough. Wikipedia |
