Coldwater’s first settlers came to the area in the mid-1700s. Coldwater is said to be the second oldest community in Ontario with Penetanguishene being the oldest. The Coldwater Road is known to be over 400 years old; there is a monument between Price’s Corners and Warminster dedicated to the Coldwater Road. (You will see it when approaching the cache)
The Ojibway First Nations knew Coldwater as "GIS-SI-NAUSE-BING" which translated into "cold river" or "cold water," hence the name of the town.
Pay close detail to the plaque as it was placed to honour the road itself, but much of the terminology is outdated and not politically correct today. Coldwater has such an immense history and its a shame for it to go unnoticed. Stop by the cache and maybe read the plaque on the history of the road.
Feel free to message me if you have any questions about the cache or want to know how one might go about finding more information on some history. I would love to chat, even if it is just about some geocaches!!
