Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Horton (N.S.) : Horton Township was in Kings County, Nova Scotia, which faces the Bay of Fundy and the Minas Basin. It was probably named in honour of Horton Hall in Northamptonshire, England, the residence of George Montagu Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax (1716-1771), who was President of the Board of Trade, 1748-1761. After the expulsion of the Acadians in 1755, the area was repopulated mainly by settlers from New England who arrived in 1760-1761. The township system of government was abolished in 1857. Library and Archives Canada's published collection holds a copy of "A History of Horton Township, Kings Co., Nova Scotia, through Maps and Documents", by Douglas E. Eagles (Sarnia, Ontario, 28 February 1975).
