The Newcastle Village and District Historical Society believe, in this the year of Ontario's Bicentennial, that an important street should be named Massey Street. The original Massey Street was eliminated with the 401 construction. construction. The following facts are reasons for our belief. In 1630 the Massey Family migrated from England to Salem, New England. In 1800 Daniel Massey's father and mother migrated to Canada and by 1820, at the age of 21, Daniel owned outright 200 acres of land near Cobourg. In 1847, he turned over the farm to his son, Hart, and moved to Bond Head, where he started a small foundry. Thus, he fulfilled fulfilled a dream to manufacture labour-saving farm machinery. machinery. In 1849, Daniel purchased a two-storey brick foundry on fifty acres of land one mile north in the village of Newcastle Newcastle on the corner of the present King Street East and Beaver Street South. This was the official beginning of the Newcastle Foundry and Machine Factory. Daniel's son, Hart, inherited the business in 1856 but suffered suffered a setback on March 29,1864 when fire consumed the entire foundry. He immediately built a larger three-storey building and by 1867 had 100 employees and produced over 500 types of machinery. 1867 also saw the birth of Canada's world-wide export trade in manufactured goods with the shipment from Newcastle of twenty mowers and reapers to Emperor Bismark's farms in Germany. In 1870 the Massey manufacturing manufacturing Company was formed formed with Hart's son, Charles, becoming President in 1871. In 1878, with the introduction introduction of its first machine, entirely of Canadian design, called the Massey Harvester, it was obvious the business had outgrown its location. In . 1880, the factory and 150 employees employees moved to new quarters quarters in Toronto. Thus began one of the world's important manufacturing institutions. However, the Massey Family did not forget Newcastle. Newcastle. In 1910 they presented the parsonage to the United Church and in 1923 gave us our Community Hall. We need your support in our effort to change the name of Beaver Street South or North and South to Massey Street, as a continuing reminder of our pioneer heritage and the benevolence of this great Canadian family. The residents of Beaver Street will be contacted for their opinions. What do you think? Please write to us at Post Office Box 585, Newcastle, Newcastle, Ont., LOA 1H0. Dear Newcastle Village and District Historical Society First, you tell me this is Ontario's Bicentennial! I studied my old Canadian history history book, In 1841 our province was called Upper Canada! The only thing I can find happening in 1784 was the coming of the Loyalists into the eastern half of what is now our Dominion of Canada, Halifax, New Brunswick, Quebec, along the St. Lawrence Lawrence River and into the then western settlements of Upper Canada. In 1791, under Sir Guy Carleton, Canada was divided into Upper and Lower Canada. When Sir Isaac Brock died at Queenston Heights in the War of 1812, he was the hero of Upper Canada. Upper and Lower Canada were united in 1841. In 1867, the Dominion of Canada comprised the original original provinces of Nova Scotia, Kiddie-Kobbler OSHAWA CENTRE ^ • Tv' Slippers $ 9.98 All Stock Roys & Girls Broken Sizes # • •'to Kiddie-Kobbler 4 SEMI-ANNUAL SALE^ BABY BOOTS BABIES' FIRST WALKING BOOTS Factory Clearance Odds and Ends Seconds Broken Sizes Afl-q New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario - the first time I read Ontario province! Somehow, I cannot "believe that 1984 is Ontario's 200th anniversary. Now, what do I think of changing the name of Beaver Street to Massey Street? No! We have lived on Beaver Street for thirty years and do not want the name changed. I suggest that the beautified part of King Street be named Massey Street. Or, some new street - perhaps at Parkview. I have not investigated but I feel that Beaver Street probably probably has some historical significance, also. I thank you for allowing me to express my opinion. Yours sincerely, Hazel E. Crago.
