Search Tip: Below is a transcription of the names listed in the 1871-1872 Wellington County Gazetteer and Directory. I have copied the names exactly how they were published in this work. The first number listed is the Concession and the second number is the Lot. Once you have the lot and concession number, you can consult the land records. Other places to locate lot and concession numbers are in the agricultural census (if available) and in the Illustrated Historical Atlas for Wellington County.

ORANGEVILLE

An important and flourishing town on the Credit River, township of Garafraxa, and bordering on the townships of Mono and Caledon, counties of Peel and Simcoe. This place is one of the most important towns in western Ontario, and likely will be the County town of the new county Dufferin. Here is one of the principal stations of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. Canadian Bank of Commerce and Merchants Bank of Canada, Montreal and Dominion Telegraph Companies al have offices here. Two weekly papers are published in the town, the Sun and Advertiser. There are also two Foundries and Agricultural implement manufacturies, saw mills, planing mills, grist mill, tannery, several brick yards, two cabinet factories, carriage factories, pump factory, pottery, a large number of first-class hotels, six churches, and a number of very fine stores. The town being in the centre of an extensive agricultural district, a large business is transacted, and immense quantities of grain and other farm produce is purchased and shipped by rail. Distant from Toronto 49 miles from Mount Forest 28 miles, and from Guelph, the county town, 35 miles. Population 3,000.
