OAKVILLE

 Oakville was founded in 1827 by Colonel William Chisholm (1788-1842), an enterprising merchant and shipbuilder. Chisholm purchased 960 acres of Crown Land at the mouth of the Sixteen Mile Creek where he soon established the first privately-owned harbour in Upper Canada and soon the harbour was thriving, handling trade between Hamilton, Toronto and foreign cities. Oakville was declared a Port of Entry into Canada in 1834, with William Chisholm serving as the first Customs Inspector. George King Chisholm, became Oakville’s first mayor following its incorporation as a town in 1857. In 1962, the surrounding townships of Trafalgar and Bronte were amalgamated to form the current Town of Oakville.
