Seaforth, Ontario
Seaforth (2001 population: 2300) is a community in the municipality of Huron East, in Huron County, Ontario, Canada.
Town History
(from the Provincial Plaque located in Seaforth's Victoria Park)
"Anticipating the construction of Buffalo, Brantford and Goderich Railroad through this region, Christopher and George Sparling acquired, during 1850 - 1853, most of the present site of Seaforth. George laid out a subdivision in 1856 and Christopher sold most of his land in Tuckersmith Twp. to a syndicate headed by James Patton of Barrie. Patton is said to have procured a railway station and named it Seaforth. Situated on the Huron Road and the railway, and being a shipping point for wheat, Seaforth had a post office by December 1859, was incorporated as a village in 1868 and as a town in 1875."
