The New Student's Reference Work/Grand River

From Wikisource


Grand River, in southern Ontario, empties into Lake Erie at Port Maitland, and is navigable for a considerable distance. Elora, Paris, Brantford, Cayuga and Dunnville are on its banks. In early days, when the whole country was wooded, small vessels made use of it in carrying merchandise and farm and timber products. It waters a fertile and quickly settled country.
