I \ '] I -..^r THE TOWN OF WALKERTOK THE county seat of Rruce, and is situatetl within tlie Township of Urant, and on either side, but chiefly on tlie left bank, of the Sangeen, which at this point runs winding througli a vleasant and picturesque valley, formed by a "bottom" of varying width, from the outer edges of which the surface rises, bj' gentle ascent toward the south-west, till at the average distance of nearly a mile it attair.i the general level of Mie surrounding country; while the north-eastern boundary of the valley is formed by an abrupt "break" and almost precipitous ascent, the general lines of which are broken by here and there a gulch, originally a water-course, at irregular intervals, these forming by their presence easy modes of coumiunication with the outside country, iind, in their intervals, soii e of the flnest building sites inmginable, the commanding positions of which have been utilized and beautified by the erection of elegant private residences. The history of the early settlement and subsequent growth of the phice is identical with that of a score or more of others — some of which almost rival it in size and extent— in that part of the western peninsula chiefly coverecf by Uruce County. The first actual settler within its present limits, and the real founder of the place as well, was Joseph Walker, who settled on the lot where Vognn's large mills stand, oni^i^-i2th May, 1H,'>(>. He at once built a mill here on the site of the present grist and flouring mill; and.feang' the flrst not oidy in the township, but in a large extent of country surrounding it on every side, this epterp^-ise formed the nucleus of a village whose development was immediate, continuous and rapid".
