- Description
- Photograph of St. Jude's Cemetery as it was in 1920. St. Jude's Cemetery started in 1853 with the purchase of 5 acres on the shore of Lake Ontario, just west of the town of Oakville based at the mouth of the Sixteen Mile Creek.
- Notes
- Trafalgar Township was one of the first three townships in Halton County. The land was purchased from the Mississaugas in 1805.
Most of the community we now know as Oakville, Ontario was once Trafalgar Township. The political boundaries of Trafalgar Township ceased to exist with the amalgamation of the Township, the Village of Bronte and Oakville in 1962.
However, the geographic boundaries remain with Trafalgar Township extending to the Lake on both the east (Winston Churchill) and west (Burloak Drive) and then stretching over the farmland to the north all the way to Steeles Avenue. - Inscriptions
