Fleetwood and Fleetwood Station

Fleetwood was a small settlement near Lake Ontario that got started in the mid 19th century. Although official listings show the community was first settled in 1865, the area was actually settled somewhat earlier, during the 1840s and 50s.

The origin of Fleetwood's name is uncertain. According to some sources, it was named after a Chief Fleetwood, a local native chief. Others believe it was named after a village in Ireland. The village was also known as 'the Brick Corners'.
