History about Hillsburough Ontario:
Next to Eramosa, Erin is the oldest settled Township in Wellington County. The first settler, Nathaniel Rozell, came in 1820 and settled on lot 1 on the 7th line.
The following year, 1821, William How and his family came from Kent, England, landing at Little York (Toronto) where they picked up the deed to lots 22 and 23 in the seventh concession.
After reaching the Rozell home and spending the night, Mr. Rozell accompanied fire and Mrs. How to their holdings Arriving late in the evening, they threw brush up against a fallen tree to make a shelter. Next morning, work was begun on a crude shanty, which was completed in three days. Leaving Mr. and Mrs. How settled, Mr. Rozell returned home. Snow came November 9 that year and stayed until March; so it was six months before Mrs. How saw a white woman again. Their yoke of oxen and one cow had to browse all winter.
Mr. How being the pioneer of Hillsburgh, he started the first general store in a small log building just south of the later store.
Soon business increased and a larger store was built and a trading post set up where the settlers traded their produce for flour, sugar, etc., brought in from Oakville.
The second store is known to have been much larger than the third one There has always been some dispute as to whether the name was spelled How or Howe, but Melvin Harper, a cousin of Will and Margaret who were the last to carry on the family store, says that the name HOW was in large letters over the front door.
The second store was destroyed by an explosion while Edward How was the owner. Gunpowder was kept in open kegs with Just a paper cover, and while a group of men were sitting around the stove, smoking and chatting, someone lit their pipe, carelessly tossed a lighted match and it started to burn the paper. Mr. How grabbed the keg and started for the door, but was too late. The explosion that followed blinded Mr. How in one eye and completely destroyed the store. The fact that counters ran the full length of the store on either side and held the weight of the fallen roof off the men is all that saved their lives. The store that replaced this one was smaller and after passing out of the How name, was owned by Harry Hall; and now his daughter, Marjorie, and her husband Henry Beatty, own it.
The settlement was at that time called Howville, but in 1823, a family named Hill arrived and settled on Lot 25 and one Nazareth Hill built the first hotel where Ed. Dymek's store now stands. He must have had varied interests, as it is also noted that he began the first Sunday School as well. He made the Nazareth Hill survey of the village and imposed his name upon the settlement. Thus Hillsburg (no "h" on the ending until many years later) was named for the Hill family and not for the surrounding hills, as many suppose. Ann Street in Hillsburgh was named after Mr. Hill's daughter, Ann. The Police Village of Hillsburgh was incorporated in 1899, and the Village Trustees in 1967 are Carman Parkinson, James McLaren and John Graham, with John Clarke as Clerk.
