The first Division Court was held by Judge Burnham at Manchester in 1862, Mr. Bowers of Port Perry built the Scugog floating bridge in 18566 and the services od the Island Ferry boat were discontinued. The bridge was a verit- able floating affair, portions of it went floating down the lake shortly after- wards. Dr. W. O. Eastwood of East Whitby, was then pactising at Port Perry and was the first to ride over the bridge. Up to that time he had to keep a boat for visiting his island patients. The dam upon the Scugog river at Lindsay was built in 1845 and raised the waters of the lake thrée to four feet and also was the cause of many cases*of fever and ague which brought the rst medical man to settle in the township -- namely Dr. Jonathan Foote, who came from Vermont. The Ontario Observer was first pub- lished in 1857 in Prince Albert by Jas. Holden, followed by Jas. Baird and Henry Parsons, Before the construction of the rail- way inthe county, Prince Albert was for a long time, with the exception of Brampton, the largest grain market in Upper Canada.

The town was named after Peter Perry of Whitby who laid out the first plot in the village, The first settler and owner on the present site of Port Perry was Elias Williams.

Other mills were built later, These mills did a very large business and employed in getting out logs and in the manufac- ture of lumber a large number of men. The first Post Office was opened in 1852 with Joseph Bigelow as post- master. The flrst steamer, Woodman, made the first trip to Lindsay in the spring of 1851. The first newspaper was the Standard.
