The area west of Brockville which has developed into the Brockville Cemeteries was originally part of the land granted to Sgt. Allan Grant, UEL by the Crown in 1798. Grant was a member of the 84th Regiment, a loyalist force that fought during the War of the American Revolution. Following the peace settlement in 1783, he came to this area with his family to establish his new home, he was granted 200 acres in this part of the Township of Elizabethtown.
In 1890 the Brockville Cemetery was enlarged with the purchase of an additional forty-six acres on the north side of the highway from James E. Grant, grandson of the original settler. Thus it was the new Oakland Cemetery, St. Peter’s Cemetery, and St. Francis Xavier Cemetery were planned and opened on the north side of the highway.
Dogs are permitted but please keep them on a leash and clean up after them, thank you.
