Clarendon Station

Clarendon Station got its start as a small railway village in the late 1870s, following the opening of the Kingston & Pembroke (K & P) railway. Although the area surrounding Clarendon Station was already occupied by a small group of homesteaders, in no way did it resemble anything like an organized community. The arrival of the new station village, named after the township, brought with it much needed services and a sense of community to the scattered settlement.

A special thanks to the Reverend Dr. Paul Duarte for a fabulous tour of this most interesting place.
