About Heritage Alnwick/Halidmand
Alnwick Township was originally surveyed in 1795 when twenty-four (24) lots were laid out on the first concession. The Township's first residents were made up of United Empire Loyalists, attracted by large unencumbered land grants, sometimes in the thousands of acres.
Haldimand Township was formed in 1791 and was named in honour of Sir Frederick Haldimand - a British general who served as Governor-in-Chief of Canada between 1778 and 1796. By 1804, there were 356 settlers in Haldimand Township making it the second most populous Township in the region.
