History
The area was settled by people in the early 1820s, when Black Loyalists, African-Canadians and African-American immigrants arrived to the wilderness of the Queen's Bush. The majority was settled down between Peel Township (Wellington County) and Wellesley Township (Waterloo County). Until the late 1840s the Queen's Bush remained an unorganized territory. Three African-Canadian churches was constructed in the Queen's Bush and one of them was in Yatton, reverend Samuel H. Brown established that on his farm.[2][3]
gollark: I actually use TypeScript without even... writing types... the majority of the time, because it means I actually get working autocomplete, and my IÐE will detect errors which for some insane reason JS only notices at runtime.
gollark: TS has compilation anyway, it basically just involves removing the type annotations (this is actually separate from the typechecking).
gollark: Oh, that is JOKE™, `use strict` isn't very big.
gollark: Reducing RUNTIME errors.
gollark: ... reducing errors.
