- Pre-1812 there were three communities existing in the area of what would later become Cobourg. Amherst, was the largest settlement and was located at the House of Refuge about a mile northwest of present-day Cobourg. (Golden Plough is now located at that site). Lewis Stiles acquired this corner property in 1817 and operated a hotel there for a number of years. The North Star Masonic Lodge met at Stiles originally and Robbie Burns Dinners plus other social events, were often held at Stiles.
