. Historic Origins of Hawkestone
The mouth of Hawkestone Creek is consequently the site of the port or landing place of Cahiagué, & the remains of a Huron village have been found on the spot. On the west halves of lots 24 & 23, concession XII. [Oro].This was a famous Indian landing-place at the outlet of Hawke­stone Creek. ... William Hodges, the occupant, who has lived there since his birth in 1834, ploughed up some stone fire-beds, pottery fragments, iron tomahawks, etc. These were on the west side of the outlet of the creek. … Similar remains have been found on the Capt. Davis farm, on the east side of the creek's outlet; & also at places nearer the creek itself. Cahiagué itself lay a little inland & a shade west of the arc of the circle from the Narrows. Oro, which I visited in May, 1899, & where I counted on finding some traces of the old Huron village, is 'covered with forest growth.
