History of the Village of Nicolston
Nicolston, founded by John Nicol in 1853, was originally known as “Carluke,” which is Gaelic for “valley surrounded by hills.” The business is run by the fifth and sixth generation. As with many of the settlements over the years, Nicolston started with the establishment of a saw mill, which was later converted to a flour and grist mill stand. The secondary dam was constructed to supply power for a woollen mill. This woollen mill, owned by George Upton, was one of the first to supply the T. Eaton Company with woollen supplies for socks and underwear. Today, the site serves as a recreational campground, and the largest dam incorporates a fish ladder to aid in the migration of rainbow trout and salmon to their spawning ground far upstream.
A Rich and Colorful History — Nottawasaga River
Long before Europe discovered the new world, the native people of Central Ontario were utilizing the Nottawasaga River as a transportation route. The name Nottawasaga stems from the Ojibwas words “Nahdowa(y)” and “Saga,” meaning roughly, “Iroquois Outlet.” The river valley was also extensively used as a place for hunting and fishing, camping and ritual burying of the dead. Then came the explorers, fur traders, missionaries, military suppliers and soldiers. Later, when roads were established, lumbermen settled in the area, using the Nottawasaga as a source of power and as a means to ship sawn timber to market. Once the timber resources had been depleted, woollen, flour and grist mills became common. Much of the river valley had been cleared and converted into rich agricultural lands. Potato and sod farms are the most popular in this day and age.
