As one might guess by driving along Oakville’s well-known Lakeshore, early settlement of Oakville centred around its vast shoreline. The natural harbour at Bronte was a commercial port of entry for merchants and sailors in the early 1800’s. In 1827, Colonel William Chisholm purchased land at the mouth of the Sixteen Mile Creek on Lake Ontario to develop a shipbuilding yard. Ship-building and timber became important industries that attracted a variety of settlers to the area.
