Area History
In 1815—140 Scots came from Lord Selkirk's Red River Settlement in Manitoba eventually making their way to what is know as the Scotch Settlement in West Gwillimbury. A rich history unfolds in this area with the establishment of the first school and church building (1823) known as Auld Kirk. (see: "The Settlement of Auld Kirk" Cache). In 1865 a second church was established. Originally known as "The 2nd West Gwillimbury Presbyterian Church" — over time, the church became known as "The Scotch Settlement Presbyterian Church". West of this church, the Scotch Settlement Arboretum was created by the Bondhead and District Horticultural Society.
